We use Nickel 200/201 grade, which conforms to the ASTM B162 standard. It’s commercially pure (99.6% and higher) with good mechanical properties, and is resistant to a range of corrosive media. Our nickel strip and tags make excellent battery connectors because they have a low electrical resistance. Most of the material we provide will be used as battery connectors, to link cells together either as a single tag from cell to cell or as a special etched or stamped tag, which can link multiple cells. The tags can be used as electronic parts, and in resistance to corrosion applications, like handling alkaline solutions and foods.

BATTERY CRIMPS

Nickel battery connectors, Nickel plated battery connectors and Nickel strip for battery connection are best suited as links for battery packs making it is easy to solder, spot or tag weld.

Datum battery crimps replace slow, expensive soldering processes in battery pack manufacturing. By working with our customers and understanding their processes, we supply our crimps to remove bottlenecks from critical areas of your production lines.

Available wire sizes: 20-26 AWG, Standard 7/0.2mm, others available upon request.
Crimp dimensions: 11mm spade and 16mm in length
Material: Nickel plated stainless steel
Crimps are available in reels of 10,000 pieces per reel.

BATTERY TAGS

Datum battery tags are available in nickel-plated steel and commercially pure nickel. All tags are produced at our facility, cut to order with our specialized slitting and cutting equipment. This enables us to deliver high-quality standard and custom-size tags at competitive prices with short lead times.

Custom tags are becoming increasingly popular as miniaturization and power electronics drive specialized shapes, formats and load requirements. We can specialty etch or stamp custom shaped tags to ensure high-yielding and repeatable production processes.
