Applications
The Keystone 3517 PC clip is used in battery holder assemblies, test jigs, and PCB-mounted power contact applications where a compact 5 mm clip is needed. Its tin-plated brass body ensures reliable conductivity in consumer electronics, industrial instruments, and portable device designs. The clipless orientation leg design supports flexible placement in both single-sided and double-sided PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material and finish does the Keystone 3517 PC clip use, and why does that matter for contact reliability?
The Keystone 3517 is made from brass with a tin plate finish, giving it a contact resistance of well under 50 mΩ and excellent corrosion resistance. Brass provides the mechanical spring force needed for secure battery or wire contact, while tin plating protects against oxidation across a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
How does the 5 mm clip size of the Keystone 3517 compare to other PC clips, and which cell types does it fit?
The 5 mm contact span of the Keystone 3517 is sized to fit standard AA, AAA, and similar cylindrical cells as well as PCB trace contact pads up to 5 mm wide. It is a smaller-footprint alternative to 6 mm or 8 mm clips, saving roughly 1–3 mm of board space in battery holder and power-rail contact assemblies.
In what PCB assembly scenarios would you choose the Keystone 3517 without an orientation leg over a legged variant?
The 3517 without an orientation leg is preferred when the PCB footprint does not have a polarizing locating hole, allowing the installer to place the 5 mm clip in any angular orientation. This is common in prototype runs and low-volume industrial builds where a single clip SKU must serve multiple board revisions with varying pad layouts.
