4 x AA Battery Holder with On/Off Switch
We have ✅ 21 available of the AF-830 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 100 units available with a short lead time.
A 4×AA battery holder with a snap-on cover and built-in on/off switch. Holds four AA batteries in series, outputting a nominal 6V (alkaline) or 4.8V (NiMH), making it a convenient portable power source for 5V microcontroller projects.
With alkaline batteries, you may want to add a 1N4001 diode in series to drop the voltage from ~6V to ~5.3V for 5V-sensitive projects. NiMH rechargeables provide a naturally suitable voltage range for most 5V circuits without additional regulation.
Key Features
- On/Off Switch – Built-in slide switch for convenient power control
- Snap-On Cover – Keeps batteries secure and protected
- Series Connection – Four AA cells wired in series
