Battery Receptacle — 6-Position SMT with Solder Retention
It accepts female blade sockets in a single-row, 3.00mm pitch layout, mating with the corresponding male blade header.
Board Fit: 3.00mm Pitch, SMT Footprint
The 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch is standard for battery connectors — it provides enough creepage for the battery voltage without wasting board space. The single-row, 6-position layout keeps the footprint narrow, which helps when routing the battery trace to the charger IC or protection circuit. The solder retention pads are separate from the signal contacts; they take the mechanical load so the SMT joints on the blade sockets don't crack under the cable's lever arm.
Contact Plating: 50.0µin Gold — Why It Matters
Tin plating would oxidize and wear through under the same duty, so this is the right call for a field-serviceable battery interface.
