Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Block
-
Q: Is the Jiatel JT-BC2032THM a direct fit for the Keystone 3003 footprint?
-
A: Yes. Our product is designed to match the dimensional and PCB pin layout of the Keystone 3003, ensuring a seamless drop-in replacement without requiring PCB redesign.
-
-
Q: What is the primary benefit of using a THM retainer over an SMT holder?
-
A: THM (Through-Hole Mount) retainers like this one offer superior mechanical strength and resistance to physical shock, making them ideal for high-vibration or high-impact applications where the battery must not fail.
-
-
Q: Does this retainer support both positive and negative terminals?
-
A: This model is a metal retainer/clip that typically functions as the Positive contact, securing the cell and connecting to a dedicated PCB pad/hole for the Negative connection. Always check the datasheet for polarity confirmation.
-
-
Q: What is your guarantee on the material quality?
-
A: We guarantee the use of Phosphor Bronze with specified plating, which is the industry standard for ensuring maximum electrical performance and spring longevity.
