3 cell 18650 lithium battery holder SMT surface mount type

Product Name: 3-cell 18650 Battery Holder (SMT Surface Mount Type)

Appearance and Structural Features:
Overall Structure: This is a black, three-slot battery holder designed specifically for accommodating three cylindrical 18650 batteries (diameter 18mm, length 65mm). It features a three-row parallel open-frame structure with reinforced partitions between the slots, resulting in a flat rectangular shape ideal for high-density layout on PCBs.

Materials and Manufacturing Process:
Shell: The main body is made of black, high-temperature resistant engineering plastic (typically glass fiber reinforced nylon), which offers excellent insulation and mechanical strength, suitable for automated processes like reflow soldering.
Contacts: Each slot is equipped with gold-plated/yellow brass metal contacts at both ends. One end features a flat spring clip or metal cap (positive), while the other end has a spring clip/spring structure (negative). These contacts are highly elastic and oxidation-resistant, ensuring reliable contact even in vibrating environments.

Functional Design (Key Features):
SMT/THM Dual Compatible Terminals: Flat metal surface mount terminals (with positioning holes) extend from both ends of the housing. These terminals can be used for surface mount (SMT) or through-hole (THM) soldering, accommodating different production line processes.
Silkscreen Markings: The housing is printed with "SMT/THM FOR 18650", "BLOSSOM ELECTRONICS", and "BLM" for easy model identification and traceability.
Mounting Holes: Positioning/reinforcement holes are reserved on the middle partition (drawings indicate Φ3 holes spaced 55.5mm apart), which can be used for production positioning or additional fixation.
Polarity Indication: Raised positive and negative symbols (+/-) are marked inside the slots to prevent incorrect battery installation.

Dimension Specifications (Based on Drawings):
Total Length: Approximately 77.5mm
Width: Approximately 59.0mm (estimated based on single cell width)
Height: Approximately 15mm
Terminal Thickness: Approximately 0.95mm
Positioning Hole Spacing: Approximately 55.5mm
Electrical Characteristics:
Compatible Batteries: Standard 18650 lithium batteries, with a nominal voltage of 3.7V per cell.
Connection Method: Whether in series or parallel depends on the actual internal wiring. It is recommended to confirm the output voltage with a multimeter before installation.
