ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to an apparatus for securely retaining a small battery or electric cell on a printed circuit board, and for providing electrical contacts which engage the battery for use in an electronic circuit. The present invention provides an improved mechanical attachment of the battery retention apparatus to the circuit board by means of a plurality of tabs which extend through and engage the printed circuit board. These tabs are separate and apart from the electrical connections to the circuit board.
The apparatus of the present invention provides a lightweight, low-profile, rugged battery retention mechanism capable of withstanding impulse forces. The apparatus is low-cost, easily manufactured, and facilitates easy installation, and is particularly well suited for remote control devices and other hand-held or portable units.
