SPIDER Automation | 2x AAA Battery Holder with ON/OFF Switch | JST 2-Pin Connector
The SPIDER Automation 2x AAA Battery Holder is a prewired battery enclosure designed to simplify power connections in compact electronic and lighting projects. It accommodates two AAA cells and combines a built-in ON/OFF switch, a 2-pin JST connector and an integrated LED indicator in a single assembly.
Its enclosed ABS plastic housing keeps the battery cells contained, while the screw-secured cover helps retain them inside the compartment. The preattached red and black wires provide polarity identification, making the assembly convenient for projects that require a removable battery power source without soldering directly to the holder.
Technical Features & Functional Design
- Two-Cell Battery Compartment: Designed to accommodate two AAA battery cells in one compact enclosure.
- Manual Power Switching: The integrated ON/OFF switch provides convenient control of the connected circuit.
- JST Connector Interface: A preattached 2-pin JST connector supports connection to compatible electronic assemblies.
- LED Indicator: An integrated indicator provides a visual indication associated with operation.
- Prewired Connections: Red and black leads provide identifiable power connections and reduce direct soldering requirements at the holder.
- Enclosed Construction: The ABS plastic housing contains the battery cells within a dedicated compartment.
- Screw-Fixed Cover: The battery enclosure uses a screw to secure the housing.
Electrical Configuration & Connection Details
The holder uses two AAA battery cells and provides a prewired output connection through its 2-pin JST connector. The red and black leads identify the respective power polarities, while the built-in switch allows manual control of the connected circuit.
| Connection | Description |
|---|---|
| Red Wire | Positive supply lead |
| Black Wire | Negative supply lead |
| 2-Pin JST Connector | Prewired connector for compatible devices |
| ON/OFF Switch | Manual switching of the connected circuit |
Connection Note: Confirm the JST connector’s physical compatibility and pin polarity against the target device before connecting. The battery holder does not establish voltage regulation; ensure the connected device is compatible with the actual battery-pack voltage.
