Title: Flat surface mount contacts
Post by: luminantio on August 15, 2016, 08:47:00 pm

Can anyone tell me where I can find surface mount contacts like the circular and oval shaped guys in this picture?

I removed one to confirm that it's surface mount. I'm having a heck of a time finding them in any of the usual places.

Thanks!

These things tend to be custom, because they're just stamped pieces of metal - the NRE costs are minimal. Not sure you'll be able to find them easily.

Edit: For the center pin, these (http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/battery-products/battery-holders-clips-contacts/393250?k=&pkeyword=&pv759=641&FV=fff40006%2Cfff80022%2C1140208&mnonly=0&newproducts=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&stock=1&quantity=0&ptm=0&fid=0&pageSize=25) may be an option.
