Abstract
An apparatus for retaining a gold plated battery on a circuit board comprises a gold plated circular cover plate having a circumference, a plurality of support legs extending axially from the circumference of the gold plated circular cover plate, a plurality of prongs extending from each support leg wherein each prong is adapted to fit in respective prong holes on the circuit board, and a gold plated electrical conductor with at least first and second contacts, the first contact adapted for connection to the gold plated battery, and the second contact adapted for connection to an electrical circuit. The support legs extending from the circumference of the circular cover plate are rigid which insures alignment when inserted in to a circuit board. Accordingly, the apparatus is well suited for surface mount technology. The gold plated electrical contacts provide maximum conductivity to the electrical circuit.
