A simple breakout board with a CR1220 coin cell battery holder pre-soldered and broken out to 0.1″ pitch pins. Ideal for powering very low-current projects or providing battery backup for a real-time clock (RTC) module.

Comes fully assembled and tested, with a stick of 0.1″ header included so you can solder it on and plug directly into a breadboard.

Key Features

  • CR1220 Holder – Accepts standard 12 mm CR1220 coin cell batteries
  • Breadboard-Friendly – 0.1″ pitch header pins (included, requires soldering)
  • Pre-Assembled – Battery holder soldered and tested, ready to use
  • Compact – Minimal footprint for space-constrained projects

Ideal For

  • Battery backup for RTC modules (DS1307, DS3231, etc.)
  • Low-power wearable electronics and LED throwies
  • Powering small microcontroller projects during prototyping

Package Contents

  • 1× 12 mm Coin Cell Breakout Board (with CR1220 holder)
  • 1× 0.1″ header strip
Note: CR1220 battery not included. Also available with an on/off switch.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

breakout
A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
RTC
A Real-Time Clock keeps track of time even when the main processor is asleep or powered down, usually with a small backup battery. It matters for data logging and tracking projects that need accurate timestamps.
