New IP65 Water Resistant AA Battery Holders

/0 Comments/in /by

Keystone Electronics has met the increasing demands for water resistant and reliable AA battery holders with the introduction of our latest covered plastic battery holders.

These self-contained battery holders can be placed on or off a board, or between components, cards or anywhere within a case or piece of equipment as spaces allows. In addition to portability, these devices also feature coil spring contacts to compensate for variations in battery length and to securely hold batteries in place, assuring positive, low contact-resistance connections.

Engineered with sealing gasket to provide a watertight compartment for AA batteries, these self contained battery enclosures are IP65 rated for water, dust and other harsh environments. Manufactured for increased durability from molded ABS, the contacts are nickel plated spring steel. Included in these enclosures are 6″ long #26 AWG pre-tinned wire leads for simplified installation and a built in, sealed, on-off switch for additional product security.

Keystone’s new waterproof battery holders are available in configurations to accommodate 2 AA cells (p/n 2438), 3 AA Cells (p/n 2439) or 4 AA Cells (p/n 2440).

/0 Comments/in /by

Astoria, NY… A new series of “True” Zero ohm high current SMT jumpers designed to replace “Zero” ohm resistors, are the latest connectivity devices available from Keystone Electronics Corp.

Quickly and easily set-up, these new jumpers are uniquely suited as True zero ohm resistor replacements. Three resistor chip sizes are offered to simplify designs and footprint template compatibility: 0603 chip size (p/n 5110); 0805 chip size (p/n 5106) and 1206 chip size (p/n 5108).

Manufactured from Copper with Silver Plating, these jumpers provide a low impedance and circuit linkage with an identical footprint as a zero Ohm resistor. Ideal for high-density, high current PCB applications, the new jumpers are supplied on tape and reel per ANSI/EIA-481 standard for compatibility with most vacuum and mechanical pick & place assembly systems.

A major manufacturer of interconnect components and electronic hardware, Keystone’s capabilities include stamping, machining and assembly services. Application engineering assistance for product modifications and special designs are also available. Last, Keystone Electronics is ISO-9001:2008 certified and RoHS, REACH compliant company.

New Quick and Reliable Wire Splices – i-Clamps

/0 Comments/in /by

Astoria, NY… Tamper proof Insulation Displacement (IDC) Connectors for wire are the latest addition to Keystone Electronics full line of interconnects components and electronic hardware.

These new devices for splicing wires provide a quick and reliable method for wire connections without the need to strip wires, use wire nuts or electrical tape. The I-Clamp Wire Splices pierce the wire insulation and make a secure wire splice in one easy step.

Designed for use with 10-22 AWG insulated wires, the I-Clamp is available in 3 styles to accommodate all common wire connectivity configurations. The T-Series wire splices are used when you want to branch off a common wire run allowing the wire run to be tapped without cutting or stripping wire insulation.

The Two Way Series connectors have a unique dual channel which allows pre-assembly onto a component or fixture. Once installed, the wiring can be completed by simply attaching the other channel of the clamp to the existing wiring.

Choose the One Way Series for splicing several lines together. Use of this device is more secure than traditional methods of twisting wires together and holding in place with an electrical nut and tape.

Designed to withstand shock and vibration, these connectors have a copper contact housed inside a durable translucent polycarbonate which aids in the visual inspection of the connections. Voltage rating is up to 250 VAC.

The company manufactures a broad selection of connectivity devices as part of its large family of interconnect components and hardware. Keystone also provides custom stamping, machining and assembly services as well as application engineering services for special design and product modification requirements.

This products are available from Ramses – Keystone Europe MEA+India HQ. distributors network.

Ultra-Low Profile Surface Mount 2032 Coin Cell Holders

Ultra-Low Profile Surface Mount 2032 Coin Cell Holders

/0 Comments/in /by

Astoria, NY… When circuit board height is a critical design parameter, Keystone Electronics offers a solution with an ultra-low profile holder for the 2032 Lithium Coin Cells.

These new holders rise only 2mm above the PCB surface and are ideal for retaining cells securely under shock and vibration in high-density applications for PCB requirements.

The dramatic reduction in the height of the holder on a circuit board is achieved by the unique method of partially mounting the holder thru a hole in the PCB, allowing the holder to sit through the PCB. Built In Stabilization tabs in the LCP, UL 94V-0 base add mounting security while Gold plated contacts assure increased PCB and solder joint mounting strength.

These polarized coin cell holders are supplied on tape and reel (p/n 1057TR) and in bulk (p/n 1057) and feature dual-spring contacts. Importantly, the holders may be used with most vacuum and mechanical pick-and-place assembly systems.

The company’s full line of battery hardware also consists of SMT and THM products including contacts, clips, holders, retainers and straps in assorted materials for coin cells and batteries. In addition to a comprehensive line of interconnect hardware and components, Keystone Electronics provides application engineering services for product modification and special design requirements, supported by pro-active stamping, machining and assembly operations.
