Huizhou Antenk Electronics Co., Ltd. introduces the BATTERY Contacts FOR 'C' Cell Positive Battery Model 5240, a precision-engineered conductive component specifically designed for the positive terminal (button top) of standard C-size batteries. Unlike generic contacts, Model 5240 features a raised, dimpled or button-style male contact geometry that ensures reliable mating with the battery's positive pole while preventing accidental short circuits. Manufactured from high-grade phosphor bronze (C5191) with a selective nickel or matte tin plating, this contact delivers ultra-low electrical resistance below 20 milliohms and exceptional corrosion resistance. Key functional characteristics include a spring-enhanced or solid stamped dome structure that provides a consistent normal force of 100–150 grams, maintaining stable electrical continuity under vibration, thermal cycling, and battery expansion. Model 5240 supports continuous currents up to 5A (suitable for C cells) and operates reliably from -30°C to +90°C. Its precision-stamped geometry ensures compatibility with most standard C-cell battery holders, while the optimized solder tail design supports both through-hole and wire-lead termination methods. The product is fully RoHS, REACH, and conflict mineral compliant.
The BATTERY Contacts Model 5240 (C Cell Positive) is widely deployed across consumer electronics, medical devices, industrial equipment, portable lighting, and security systems that rely on C-size battery power. Typical applications include large remote controls, portable lanterns and flashlights, children's ride-on toys, wall clocks, battery-operated radios, medical infusion pumps, blood pressure monitors, gas detectors, and IoT-based environmental sensors. In industrial settings, it excels in backup power modules, portable data loggers, and test instrumentation requiring long-duration, high-current draws. The positive contact design incorporates a raised dimple or convex button that perfectly aligns with the C cell's top terminal, preventing off-center connections that can cause arcing or intermittent power. Its anti-vibration and anti-shock characteristics make it suitable for handheld industrial scanners and automotive diagnostic tools. Compared to conventional stamped contacts, Antenk's Model 5240 offers tighter dimensional tolerances (±0.08 mm on critical features), superior plating adhesion (tested via tape peel), and a higher cycle life exceeding 8,000 insertion/removal cycles without significant loss of spring force or contact degradation.
Huizhou Antenk Electronics Co., Ltd. stands out in the global battery contact market due to over 15 years of specialized manufacturing experience and a customer-centric engineering approach. Unlike many competitors who offer only generic, off-the-shelf parts, Antenk provides full customization for Model 5240 – including alternative materials (beryllium copper for high-reliability applications, stainless steel for cost-sensitive projects), plating options (gold for medical devices, selective gold for mixed-signal circuits, or enhanced nickel for humid environments), and custom tail geometries (angled, offset, or extended leads for non-standard PCB layouts). While other suppliers often require high MOQs (10,000+ pieces) and long lead times (30–45 days) for custom tooling, Antenk offers low MOQs starting at only 1,000 units and rapid tooling lead times of 15–20 days for OEM/ODM projects. Furthermore, every batch of Model 5240 undergoes rigorous in-process quality control including contact resistance testing (per EIA-364-06), spring force validation (per EIA-364-04), and 48-hour salt spray corrosion testing – far exceeding the industry standard of 24 hours. Antenk also provides free engineering samples, complete 2D/3D drawings, and technical support throughout product development. For global buyers seeking a reliable, long-life, and cost-effective C-cell positive battery contact with unmatched customization flexibility, Model 5240 from Antenk is the superior choice.
