This is the contact used on the Xbox 360 battery pack. Is it a custom part that was made for Microsoft or is it an off-the-shelf part?
If it is a custom part is there anyway I can replicate it short of sending it off to China?

5\$\begingroup\$ @LeonHeller sure, but why can't we leave the question as an identification question. Finding connectors so that hobbyiest can use surplus/refurb batteries for commodity products seems very much on-topic. \$\endgroup\$– akohlsmithCommented Jan 20, 2013 at 22:30

\$\begingroup\$ It is not for repairs. Its for a modified controller power supply I am building \$\endgroup\$– Jonny FlowersCommented Jan 20, 2013 at 22:38

\$\begingroup\$ are you building the controller or battery? Which side of the connector are you interested in? \$\endgroup\$– Chetan BhargavaCommented Jan 22, 2013 at 8:25

Well, you can find the male connector apparently. http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.jsp?N=2031+203470&Ntk=gensearch&Ntt=battery+connector&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial
This connector can easily be improvised. If you have a hot glue gun you may cast the connector using bits of metal. I've made a few connectors out of silicone, and they work quite well. Be creative :D

\$\begingroup\$ On your link I only see connectors with 2, 3, 4 or 5 connections. The image shows 6 connections. Can you add a direct link to the product you mean? \$\endgroup\$– user17592Commented Feb 12, 2013 at 14:58

\$\begingroup\$ Only thing left to do is check the dimensions match the ones on the controller. The other solution would be to have a thicker PCB sit on top and act as the part \$\endgroup\$ Commented Mar 12, 2013 at 10:59
