Engineering Datasheet: THM Battery Clip, Direct Footprint Replacement for Keystone 54
Securing heavy 18650 lithium cells on FR4 boards demands extreme retention force. Wave soldering turbulence requires absolute THM pin coplanarity. The Jiatel JT-BCKS54-NI is a direct footprint replacement for Keystone 54. This clip features a heavy-duty U-channel gripping architecture. It utilizes three downward solder tails. You can execute seamless board-level power integration. You do not need to alter existing PCB drill hole coordinates.
Verified Board-Level Parameters
| Target Cross-Reference | Direct Footprint Replacement for Keystone 54 |
| Mounting Architecture | Through-Hole Mount (THM) 3-Pin |
| Lateral Pin Pitch | 5.08mm Spread (Requires Ø1.80mm Drills) |
| Axial PCB Pitch (“L” Dim) | 46.50mm (18650) | 14.50mm (CR123A) |
| Base Metallurgy | T=0.35mm Spring Steel | Nickel Plated |
Target Deployments
- Energy Storage: Battery management system (BMS) boards utilizing 18650 cells.
- Medical Diagnostics: PCB-mounted power modules for portable equipment.
- Industrial IoT: High-drain ruggedized devices requiring THM stability.
Metallurgical Rigidity & Solder Joint Integrity
We stamp the JT-BCKS54-NI from heavy-gauge T=0.35mm Spring Steel. This specific formulation guarantees absolute structural rigidity. The 16.60mm high gripping arms prevent cell dislodgement during mechanical impact. The clip will not yield under repeated battery insertion cycles. We finish the assembly with high-density Nickel Plating. This maximizes wave solder wettability on the three 1.56mm wide THM pins. It eliminates the risk of cold solder joints.
NPI PCB Footprint Audit & SLA Directive
Board-level integration demands strict adherence to pin pitch dimensions. Layout errors cause THM misalignment and wave soldering failures. Our engineering rules strictly prohibit the distribution of unverified digital mockups. We execute structural footprint validation exclusively through official [Technical Datasheets]. We rely on dimensionally controlled [2D Footprint Specs].
