Where to get PCB battery contacts?

[bobhaha]

Hey guys... I was wondering where you guys buy your blank PCB battery contacts from?

A while ago I bought these as a make shift battery contact...

Quality AMC7135 350mA Regulated Circuit Board for DIY Flashlights (20-Piece / Set) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme

But I've run out and I need more. Where can I get some, preferably cheaper then this?

I thought they just came from the hosts' flashlight circuitry?

They do... But when you are making custom hosts... you need to improvise...

Or here Torch Components_Electronics Wholesale online
but the shipping cost aren't free.
Or ask for blank Mohgasm PCB in this forum.

I just get a 1inch squared PCB and cut it / file it down to size. Doesn't look as good, but it works.

Just order some custom boards. I can email you an eagle part for a 17mm battery contact. Anybody wants it PM me.

Hmm yeah I might actually do that... Maybe I'll organize a GB for them... they'll cost what? Like 20 cents each or something? That's a good idea!

:thanks:

Yeah, I recently got a few of Moh's round linear boards and still have some originals from hosts, but was thinking of building my own. But then I wanted a decent boost driver and thought I may as well do that...

I can etch a few by hand if anyone wants 1 or two (especially in AU) but I could get a panel made up professionally if anyone wants.

I just did a really quick online quote with my usual work supplier and you would be looking at AU $0.60 each in 100 qty's cut out or panel, double sided board with electro gold finish.

$0.40 each for 200
$0.23 each for 500

They would be about $0.75 each from dorkbot pcb order. You have to order in sets of 3 though, so about 2.25 min.
