Enclosed Battery Holders

Holders have snap-on or screw-on covers to fully enclose and protect batteries.

Use IP65-rated holders in applications where water and dust may be present.

Holders with an on/off switch can be turned on and off without opening the enclosure, reducing the risk of damaging internal components. You can also power them on and off without desoldering the wire lead to your application when making configuration changes. Because they’re easy to turn off, these holders help preserve battery life longer than holders without an on/off switch.

Holders with a PCB (printed circuit board) connector can be easily joined to a circuit board without soldering. They require a female printed circuit board connector (sold separately). Mount the female connector on a circuit board to serve as the receiving end for these holders.
