SparkFun – Polymer Lithium Ion Battery – 850mAh

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk01

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk02

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk03

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk04

SparkFun PRT-00341 Mk05

SparkFun: PRT-00341

Description: These are very slim, extremely light weight batteries based on the new Polymer Lithium Ion chemistry. This is the highest energy density currently in production. Each cells outputs a nominal 3.7V at 850mAh! Comes terminated with a standard 2-pin JST-PH connector – 2mm spacing between pins. These batteries require special charging. Do not attempt to charge these with anything but a specialized LiPo charger.

Battery includes built-in protection against over voltage, over current, and minimum voltage. Please use caution when using this battery in wearable projects. When using conductive thread, a short in the thread can create sparks and heat. We recommend using coin cell batteries for beginners.

Note: Although these cells are rated for 2C continuous discharge, the wiring and connectors are only rated up to 1A, so be sure to take that into account when determining your power requirements.

Note: Be careful with the JST connectors. They can stick in pretty good and tugging on them can damage the connector.

Dimensions: 5.7×29.5×48.27mm

Weight: 18.5g

Features:

  • 2C continuous discharge
  • Excellent long-term self-discharge rates (<8% per month)
  • Robust power source under extreme conditions (-25 to 60C)

SparkFun – DC Barrel Jack Adapter – Male

SparkFun PRT-10287 Mk01

SparkFun PRT-10287 Mk02

SparkFun PRT-10287 Mk03

SparkFun PRT-10287 Mk04

SparkFun: PRT-10287

Description: This adapter allows you to connect a barrel jack connector to bare wires. One end has screw terminals and the other has a 5.5×2.1mm, center-positive male barrel jack. If you need to connect bare wires to a barrel jack on an Arduino or a development board, this might be the simple solution.

SparkFun – 5-Way Tactile Switch Breakout

SparkFun BOB-11187 Mk01

SparkFun BOB-11187 Mk02

SparkFun BOB-11187 Mk03

SparkFun BOB-11187 Mk04

SparkFun: BOB-11187

Description: Sometimes you need a very small directional input device (world’s smallest game controller, anyone?) This 5-way tactile switch (up, down, left, right, and center click) allows for joystick-like control in a very small package. This breadboard-friendly board breaks out all the switch signals, and includes pullup resistors configured so that the outputs read low when pressed, and high otherwise. (If you wish, you can reverse the power leads for pull-down operation.)
