Battery Pack Receptacle for 7.2V Systems
The 5.00 mm pitch provides generous creepage for the 7.2 V rating, while the 7 A per-contact current capacity suits moderate-power battery packs, chargers, and portable equipment. Rated for operation from -30°C to 70°C, the polycarbonate housing keeps the connector within safe limits for indoor consumer and light industrial battery gear — not intended for underhood or high-heat environments. The black color aids visual identification in harness assemblies.
Termination is solder-only, with the mounting style listed as board edge, cutout, and surface mount. The contacts are copper alloy with nickel finish — adequate for the rated current and cycle life in a battery application, though gold would offer higher mating-cycle endurance for frequent disconnect duty. In a vibrating assembly, consider additional mechanical support or a strain-relief clamp on the cable exit.
