This housing requires careful handling to maintain sealing integrity and dimensional precision. Environmental exposure to moisture or corrosive agents can compromise the O-ring and stainless steel surface.

• Sealing Integrity: Inspect the pre-fitted O-ring for damage or debris before each use to ensure leak-proof performance.
• Material Compatibility: Avoid contact with strong acids or chloride-rich electrolytes that may accelerate corrosion of 304 stainless steel.
• Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment (20–25°C) to prevent O-ring embrittlement and surface oxidation.
• Dimensional Tolerance: Use only with components meeting ISO 286 tolerances to avoid deformation during crimping or pressing.

This procedure describes the correct assembly of the CR1016 case with an integrated O-ring for electrochemical testing. Proper sealing prevents electrolyte leakage and ensures reproducible cell performance.

Required Equipment: CR1016 coin cell case with O-ring, Coin cell crimping press or hand crimper

1. Inspect O-ring
   Examine the pre-fitted O-ring for any cuts, tears, or contaminants and confirm it sits evenly in the groove.
2. Assemble cell components
   Place the electrode stack and separator inside the bottom case, ensuring proper alignment and no short circuits.
3. Position top cap
   Set the top cap (with O-ring) onto the assembly, aligning the edges uniformly to avoid cross-threading.
4. Crimp the case
   Apply steady pressure using a coin cell crimping tool until the case lip is fully folded and the O-ring is compressed.

The CR1016 coin cell case provides a high-precision 304 stainless steel housing with a pre-fitted elastomeric O-ring for leak-proof sealing, ideal for micro-sensor and low-power battery testing. Its 10×1.6 mm compact dimensions restrict electrode capacity, and the standard steel may require additional coatings for aggressive electrolyte environments.

Positive

• Leak-Proof Sealing with O-Ring: The pre-integrated elastomeric O-ring restricts electrolyte evaporation and blocks atmospheric ingress, maintaining cell health over long cycling lifetimes.
• High-Precision Dimensional Consistency: Strict ISO 286 tolerance tracking mitigates assembly clearance errors and interface contact instability during continuous crimping operations.

Trade-offs

• Standard 304 Steel May Need Coating: For aggressive electrolytes, the base 304 stainless steel may require custom gold plating or aluminum coating to prevent corrosion, as offered in finish options.
• Small Form Factor Limits Electrode Capacity: The 10×1.6 mm size restricts electrode material loading and energy capacity, making it suitable only for micro-sensor and low-power applications.
