Electronic Battery Snaphat Batt & Cryst

General notes
ST has conducted experiments using a manual press which determined that if
approximately 60 pounds of force is applied to the top of the SNAPHAT®, battery damage
and/or die cracks could be induced. As Figure 2 on page 6 specifies, only an average of
less than 13 force-pounds is required for proper insertion. We recommend that no more
than 40 pounds of force be applied during SNAPHAT® insertion.
If a manual press is employed, it is very important that it be calibrated such that it cannot
exceed this limit.
To remove the SNAPHAT® top for replacement, a DIP/IC extractor tool should be used (see
Figure 4). The SNAPHAT top should be grabbed by the narrow end to avoid bending the
pins.
Caution: To avoid draining battery do NOT place SNAPHAT pins into conductive foam.
Caution: To avoid damaging SNAPHAT sockets do NOT wave solder SOIC
