Product Overview
These in-line I-type 9V battery snap connectors provide a secure DC connection for standard nine-volt PP3 batteries. Built with a rigid plastic hard-shell back instead of flexible vinyl, each clip resists tearing and cracking during battery replacements while maintaining firm mechanical retention across both snap terminals.
Key Features
- Rigid molded black plastic hard-shell housing in I-type in-line orientation
- Nickel-plated male stud and female socket snap contacts
- 26 AWG stranded conductor leads with factory pre-stripped and tinned wire ends
- Color-coded red positive and black negative insulated leads
- Lead insulation rated for 300V and 80°C
Applications
- Replacing damaged or torn vinyl battery clips inside guitar effects pedals, active bass preamps, and portable audio gear
- Connecting 9V power to solderless breadboards, perfboards, and microcontroller prototypes
- Servicing handheld test equipment, smoke alarms, and portable electronic devices requiring rugged battery snaps
Frequently Asked Questions
Which lead wire corresponds to positive and negative polarity?
The red wire connects to the female socket contact and supplies positive DC voltage from the battery. The black wire connects to the male stud contact for system ground or negative DC return.
Are the wire leads ready to solder?
Yes. Both the red and black leads come stripped and tinned, making them ready for soldering directly into a circuit board or securing under terminal blocks.
How does an I-type snap differ from a T-type snap?
I-type connectors route the lead wires straight out the end of the plastic housing, continuing in line with the battery. T-type connectors route the leads out the side at a 90-degree angle. Check your enclosure clearances to confirm whether an end or side wire exit fits your compartment.
Quantity pricing applies: the price-break table on this page shows the price per piece at every step.
Flimsy vinyl snaps tear the third time you change a pedal battery on a dark stage. A solid plastic shell snaps on firm and stays in one piece every time you swap power.
