Panasonic CR2016 coin cell with tabs

Panasonic CR2016/F2N is a 3 V lithium coin cell supplied with two surface-mount tabs in a box of 36. It fits devices that require a CR2016 footprint and solder-in connection rather than a holder. The termination style suits automated assembly or hand soldering onto a PCB.

Replaces loose CR2016 cells without tabs

The tabbed version replaces bare CR2016 cells when a direct board connection is needed. The jump is worth it when the design calls for SMD mounting, vibration resistance or a permanent power path without a battery holder. Buyers who need a holder-compatible cell or a different diameter cannot use this part.

Solder-tab interface limits

The two opposite-direction tabs dictate the PCB footprint and prevent use in standard coin-cell holders. Operating range spans -30 °C to 60 °C, so extreme environments beyond those limits need a different chemistry. Shelf life reaches 10 years, after which voltage stability may decline.

Questions about this item

Will the 20 mm by 1.6 mm cells with opposite-direction tabs fit my PCB footprint?

Each cell measures 20 mm diameter by 1.6 mm height and has two tabs extending in opposite directions; verify your board layout matches that pin spacing before soldering.

What is the correct orientation when hand-soldering the tabs to avoid reversing polarity?

The tabs are pre-formed in opposite directions; the positive tab is marked on the cell can — align it with the PCB silkscreen before applying heat to prevent a reversed connection.

After how many years should I expect to replace the unused cells from the 36-piece box?

Panasonic rates the shelf life at up to 10 years when stored within the -30 °C to 60 °C operating range; plan replacement once that period is reached.
