Battery Holders

What is a battery holder?

A battery holder comprises one or more compartments or chambers for holding a battery. It is a primary element in different kinds of anchored and portable electrical items. There are vast assortments of sizes, brands, and types of battery holders on the market, since there are many battery types.

What Do We Supply?

We supply a good range of battery holders for various battery sizes, capacities and mount types.

SMT Half Pitch DIP Switches for Space-Critical Applications

Schurter SMT Pic

SMT Half Pitch DIP Switch
DTCD, DTCJ

  • 1.27 mm half pitch for space saving
  • 2.2 mm low profile design
  • SMD type terminal
  • High number of cycles

The DTCD and DTCJ 1.27 mm pitch DIP switches are ultra-miniature SMD components designed for high-density electronic applications. With a low profile height of just 2.2 mm and up to 46% PCB space savings compared to traditional 2.54 mm solutions, they enable significant footprint reduction without compromising functionality.

Available in Gullwing and J-bend terminations, both versions are optimized for automated SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The switches support up to 1000 mechanical cycles and operate reliably across a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. Low contact resistance (≤100 mΩ initial) and stable electrical ratings (up to 100 mA @ 50 V) ensure consistent signal performance.

Typical applications include address setting and configuration in industrial controls, communication systems (e.g., RS485/Modbus), server hardware (BIOS/CMOS), consumer appliances, and medical devices. Combining miniaturization, durability, and cost efficiency, DTCD/DTCJ provide a scalable solution for modern compact electronic designs.
