Battery Holder

This is a battery holder for 3 double A batteries. It is a test to get all the dimensions right so that I can use the design in my robotics projects.

The design is based around Keystone Electronics parts (5221, 5212, 5222) available on mouser.com (among others).

Print the thing. Solder wires to the 5221 and 5222. Snap the parts into position as shown in the picture (two 5212s in the larger slots, the 5221/5222 in smaller slots). Make sure there is a spring opposite each button.

In this version, the wire holes are a little small. Use the holes as a pilot to drill to a size that fits your desired wire size.
