MPD launches SMT 2×AA battery holders with optional cover for compact designs
High-precision motion control with Bogen Magnetics’ miniaturized sensors
MPD introduces the surface-mount 2×AA battery holder with optional cover
At RC Microelectronics, official distributor of MPD in Spain and Portugal, we present the new surface-mount (SMT) battery holder for 2 AA cells, designed for automated assembly. This innovative holder includes an optional cover (sold separately) that secures the batteries during vibration, transport, and field use, providing robustness and reliability in critical applications.
MPD introduces the surface-mount 2×AA battery holder with optional cover
The BK-6284 battery holder and its covered version BK-6284-COVER stand out for combining a low-profile design, compatibility with pick-and-place and reflow processes, and a secure retention system that reduces the risk of disconnection during shipping or heavy use. Its design allows for easy battery replacement and offers flexibility to use alkaline or NiMH batteries in series, delivering approximately 3.0 V (alkaline) or 2.4 V (NiMH).




Key advantages:
- SMT assembly: compatible with automated manufacturing, reducing manual soldering steps.
- Optimized profile and size: frees up mechanical height compared to traditional battery holders.
- Secure retention with cover: increased resistance to vibrations and impacts, reduced risk of disconnection.
- Clean, cable-free design: board-level power delivery with no external holders to manage.
- Inventory flexibility: the optional cover allows robustness to be adapted to the environment.
- Aesthetics and branding: the cover finish provides a sealed, professional, and appealing look for consumer products.
Ideal applications
- IoT and sensors: smart thermostats, leak or air quality sensors, PIR detectors, beacons.
- Smart locks and access systems: residential locks, safes, keypad modules.
- Industrial and field equipment: data loggers, asset trackers, portable meters.
- Non-implantable medical devices: portable monitors, dosing aids, home-use peripherals.
- Retail and building systems: ESL beacons, shelf indicators, occupancy sensors, HVAC controllers.
- Security and emergency: alarms, strobes, backup modules, remote push buttons.
- Consumer devices and toys: remote controls, small audio devices, STEM educational kits.
- Agriculture and utilities: soil sensors, weather nodes, irrigation controllers.
