Do you need an electronic contacting solution that reliably connects multiple individual components? Then you will find the right battery spring contact for your application in this product category. Battery contacts are characterized by their compact and robust design, making them more durable than many conventional spring contacts and ideal for devices where space constraints, stability, and long service life are critical.
Another advantage: many battery contacts can be soldered directly onto the printed circuit board, as their design allows for high temperature resistance.
Spring-loaded battery contact solutions for diverse applications
Battery spring contacts, often also referred to as short-stroke contacts, are used in end products whose components need to be flexibly disconnected and reconnected – for example, to transmit power or signals.
They are suitable for almost all industries where compact and reliable contacting solutions are required.
Typical application examples include:
- Docking or charging stations for mobile end devices, such as hearing aids or handheld devices used in medical technology
- Connection of accessories such as camera lenses
- Exchange systems for robotic arm tools or modular industrial components
Typical requirements
Our battery spring contacts meet all key requirements of modern electronic applications:
- High cycle durability: Even with frequent mating and unmating, contact force and stability are maintained over the long term.
- Low electrical contact resistance: Ensures efficient, low-loss transmission of power and signals throughout the entire service life of the device.
- Compact design: Ideal for tight installation spaces; at the same time, defined spring travel reliably compensates for manufacturing tolerances.
- Resistance to environmental stress: Vibrations and temperature fluctuations have minimal impact on performance – a decisive advantage for industrial applications or devices in continuous operation.
Spring contact: positive or negative – does it matter?
Whether a battery spring contact is used on the positive or negative terminal depends on the device concept and the design of the battery compartment.
In principle, battery contacts can be used on both terminals. What matters are parameters such as available installation space, required spring travel, specified contact force, material pairing, and the battery or rechargeable battery technology used.
This results in a mechanically stable and electrically safe overall concept that can be flexibly adapted to different device designs and form factors.

Frequently asked questions about battery spring contacts
What is the difference between battery spring contacts and conventional spring contacts?
Battery spring contacts feature a more compact and robust design, making them particularly resistant to temperature, mechanical stress, and frequent actuation. Many variants can be soldered directly onto the printed circuit board.
Conventional spring contact pins , on the other hand, are primarily used in test applications and are usually designed with a more delicate structure.
Can battery spring contacts be used on both the positive and negative terminals?
Yes. Battery spring contacts can generally be used on both terminals, depending on the device concept and the mechanical design of the battery compartment.
Are battery spring contacts suitable for high cycle counts?
Yes. Thanks to their robust design and defined spring travel, battery spring contacts are ideal for applications involving frequent mating and unmating.
