Spring-Loaded Battery Contact for Right-Angle Board Mount
The 1746142-1: The 0.126" (3.20mm) pitch sets the board footprint — the spring pogo pins compress against a battery cell or holder pad, maintaining contact under vibration and thermal cycling. Gold at this grade is standard for field-serviceable battery compartments where the connector sees quarterly or monthly swaps.
Right-angle SMD termination places the contact beam parallel to the board surface, keeping the z-height low for compact enclosures. No press-fit or through-hole step — the SMD pads are the only mechanical anchor, so the board footprint should include a solder fillet length that matches the contact beam's shear load from battery insertion force.
