Unique-Bargains CR2032 CR2025 CR2016 Horizontal Battery Holder Black 5 Pcs

SKU CH-W8EZ-NNY1Z

Holds one CR2032, CR2025 or CR2016 coin cell in a horizontal PCB-mount holder; pack of five black plastic-and-metal units

  • Product typeBattery & Cable Connectors
  • Holds CR2032, CR2025 and CR2016 cells securely
  • Horizontal PCB layout simplifies board integration
  • Compact 27.3 mm diameter fits tight enclosures
  • Five holders per pack supports multiple builds
  • 3 V output matches standard coin-cell requirements

Horizontal PCB battery holder for CR2032, CR2025.

This holder mounts a single CR2032, CR2025 or CR2016 button cell on a printed circuit board. The horizontal orientation keeps the overall profile low at 10.7 mm height and 27.3 mm diameter. Five black plastic-and-metal units are supplied in the pack. Batteries are not included.

Passive component with no active cooling or power

The holder is a purely mechanical and electrical connector, so it generates no heat and produces no audible noise. It adds negligible resistance to the 3 V supply path and does not require any external power budget. Normal operation is limited to the thermal and current limits of the fitted coin cell itself.

Replaces loose cells or vertical holders

Designers who need a secure, low-profile footprint for a single 3 V coin cell will benefit from the horizontal layout. It is not suited to applications that demand dual-cell capacity, through-hole mounting with a different pin pitch, or integrated retention clips beyond the standard friction fit.

Questions about this item

How do I solder the horizontal PCB battery holder to the board without melting the plastic body?

Apply heat briefly to each through-hole pin using a fine tip at normal soldering temperature; the metal contacts conduct heat away quickly so the black plastic housing stays intact.

Will the metal contacts need cleaning or replacement after extended use?

The gold-toned contacts resist oxidation; if a cell leaks, wipe the springs with isopropyl alcohol and they will continue to hold CR2032, CR2025 or CR2016 cells securely.

What is the first limit reached when the holder carries continuous current from a coin cell?

The thin PCB traces and spring contacts warm up before the plastic body does, so sustained loads above a few milliamps will cause a measurable voltage drop across the holder.
