Abstract
The invention is a battery holder which is used to hold a pair of batteries in a modular electronic assembly having a substrate, on which an integrated circuit is mounted, and a module cap, which is concentrically, slightly larger than the substrate. The battery holder includes a module frame having a front surface, which is concentrically, slightly larger than the module cap, a back surface and a sidewall. The module frame also has a portion of its sidewall extending above the periphery adjacent to its front surface and two holes, perpendicular to its front surface and adapted to hold the pair of batteries. The battery holder also includes a metal plate, which is secured to the back surface of the module frame, for holding the pair of batteries in place.
Claims7
In a modular electronic assembly which has a substrate, on which an integrated circuit is mounted, and a module cap, which is concentrically, slightly larger than the substrate, a battery holder, which is adapted to be placed in a casing and which holds a plurality of batteries, comprising:
- a. a module frame formed from a non-conductive material having a front surface, a sidewall, and a back surface and being concentrically, slightly larger than the module cap, said front surface of said module frame being adapted to receive the substrate thereon, a portion of said sidewall extending above the periphery adjacent to said front surface of said module frame, and a plurality of holes perpendicular to said front surface adapted to receive the batteries;
- and
- b. means for securing the batteries within said holes coupled to said back surface of said module frame, formed from a conductive material.
