Solution

Gold-Plated Negative Battery Spring

A Gold-Plated Negative Battery Spring is a specialized component designed for use in electronic devices requiring reliable electrical connections, particularly in battery-operated applications. The spring is crafted from high-quality materials and coated with a thin layer of gold to enhance its conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability. The gold plating ensures a stable electrical connection and minimizes the risk of oxidation, which can impair performance over time. This type of spring is commonly used in devices such as flashlights, remote controls, and other consumer electronics, where secure and long-lasting battery contact is crucial for optimal functionality.

The gold plated battery contact spring is engineered to deliver stable connectivity even under high-vibration or high-humidity conditions. As a negative battery terminal spring, it supports critical contact reliability in compact electronic devices and is especially suited for corrosion-prone environments thanks to its gold-plated surface.

Features

1. Superior Conductivity: The gold-plated surface ensures minimal electrical resistance, typically measuring <0.5mω 20="" at="">

2. Corrosion Resistance: The 24K gold layer provides exceptional oxidation resistance, maintaining stable performance in environments with humidity levels up to 95% RH and temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C.

3. Mechanical Durability: Constructed from high-grade beryllium copper alloy (C17200), the spring offers a fatigue life exceeding 50,000 compression cycles while maintaining its original shape within ±2% tolerance.

4. Precision Engineering: The spring features a tightly controlled force curve, delivering 100-150gF contact pressure at 50% compression, ensuring reliable battery connection across various vibration conditions (5-500Hz frequency range).

5. Thermal Performance: With a thermal conductivity rating of 318 W/m·K (gold layer) and operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, the spring effectively dissipates heat from high-current applications.

6. RoHS Compliance: The component meets stringent environmental standards, containing <0.1% restricted="" substances="">
