Saft Lithium round cell LS14250 3PFRP with 3.6 V and 1.2 Ah

The Saft LS14250 3PFRP is a highly specialised lithium thionyl chloride battery (Li-SOCl2) designed for reverse polarity safe and defined assembly in demanding electronic assemblies. It is based on the proven LS14250 cell and is fitted with three axial connection wires (pins) in a specific arrangement. The suffix RP (Reversed Position) denotes a pin configuration rotated by 180 degrees compared to the standard. With a nominal voltage of 3.6 V and a capacity of 1.2 Ah, it provides an extremely reliable long-term energy solution for industrial applications.

Highlights at a Glance

• Specific mounting: 3 axial pins in reversed position (3PFRP) for defined mounting positions
• Reverse polarity safe: The 3 pin arrangement prevents incorrect soldering
• Powerful: 1.2 Ah capacity at 3.6 V for enduring energy supply
• Extremely long-lasting: Very low self-discharge of less than 1% per year
• Reliable: Constant and stable operating voltage throughout the entire service life
• Robust: Hermetically sealed stainless steel housing for maximum safety

Powerful for specific industrial applications

The Saft LS14250 3PFRP was specially developed for use in professional electronics, where a durable and mechanically precisely defined energy source is essential. Thanks to the specific 3 pin configuration, it is ideal for PCB mounting in memory backup systems (memory back up), real time clocks (RTC), industrial controller units (PLC) and counters, whose layout requires this special pin configuration. Its high energy density and compact 1/2 AA form factor enable space-saving and process-safe integration.

Efficiency and Guaranteed Safety

The proven lithium thionyl chloride technology guarantees reliable power delivery over many years. The cell is hermetically sealed to minimise the risk of leakage current and features a non-flammable electrolyte, which significantly increases operational safety. The LS14250 3PFRP complies with the IEC 60086-4 safety standard and is UL certified, underlining its suitability for demanding applications where maximum reliability is essential.

Robust Li-SOCl2 Technology for Industry

Lithium thionyl chloride chemistry stands for superior energy density and long service life. Compared to other battery technologies, it offers a stable voltage level up to the end of the discharge cycle. The robust design with stainless steel housing and glass-metal seal reliably protects the cell from corrosion and environmental influences, thus safeguarding the functionality of your application throughout the entire product service life.

FAQs about the Saft LS14250 3PFRP lithium round cell

What does the designation 3PFRP mean?

The designation 3PFRP describes the assembly of the battery. "3PF" stands for three axial solder pins which ensure reverse polarity safety. The suffix "RP" stands for "Reversed Position" and means that the pins are arranged 180 degrees rotated compared to the standard 3PF version. This variant is required for specific PCB layouts.

Is the Saft LS14250 3PFRP rechargeable?

No, the LS14250 3PFRP is a lithium primary battery and is not rechargeable. Any attempt to charge the battery poses a significant safety risk and can lead to the destruction of the cell.

Can I replace a 3PFRP version with a normal 3PF version?

No, a direct replacement is generally not possible. The reversed pin arrangement of the 3PFRP version is mechanically coded and only fits on PCBs that are specifically designed for this configuration. Please check your application’s requirements carefully.

For which applications is this special 3PFRP version required?

This version is used in industrial electronics where the PCB layout requires the battery to be mounted in a rotated position to, for example, save space or optimise track routing. Typical areas of application include durable memory buffers in controllers, counters, and medical devices.

How must the LS14250 3PFRP be appropriately stored and disposed of?

The battery should be stored in a dry and cool place to ensure minimal self-discharge. As a lithium battery, it is subject to specific disposal regulations and must be handed in at the relevant municipal collection points or at specialist retailers. Disposal via household waste is not permitted.
