123 battery holder: ???

MarNav1 · Sep 28, 2009

Hello all. Anybody ever see one of these? If so where did you see it so I can buy one? Either with leads or terminals are fine. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Look for a "2/3A" holder. I know Digikey has them.

Historical lesson, sorta.

123A = 123A(one)123A(two thirds)123A(A cell).

The ones I saw on Digikey do not have solder lugs.

Depends on how you want to hook them up.

Thanks for the help all. I just need to connect short wires (preferably by soldering) to the battery holder. The other ends will go to a breadboard.

Man Illum you weren't kidding! $8.95 shipping for a .79 cent item, ouch! Thanks for the tip though. :tinfoil:

There's the same holder on digikey. I'm pretty sure they will ship first class. should save a little.
