New 18650 socket design

parts help
1

Hi guys, I’m working on a project with a different 18650 socket. I’m using just the terminals on each end to save space as much as possible.

Here is the terminals specs https://share.getcloudapp.com/7KuqYGOn

And the end result should look like something like this image

Any idea on how can I create this part?

Thanks

Assuming you want to use this for 18650 batteries, the data sheet here:

has an appropriate layout (although it is for 18650s with internal protectors and thus likely needs to be 2mm shorter for non protected cells. A part with two clips and a battery in breadboard may be the better bet if you want to do a lot of them.
