$5.35 / set of 3; but you can now get the new smaller version here for $4.50

Designed more for vertical use, e.g. right-angle 9pin header plugged into a breadboard.

DS1337s on top, Supercap (I chose 1.5F) and 78L05 (SOIC version 5-volt regulator) on bottom, and one or a pair of [low-Vf] diodes makes for a batteryless clock module that will happily keep time with monthly charging, on anything from 7~18v [using regulator] or can be run direct on 1.8-5v.

Don’t forget to install the jumper-wire, and charge session[s] should total 24-48 hours per month for better results with high-ESR supercaps.

The regulator can also power other small circuitry; just keep in mind power dissipation and current rating (~1W or 100mA).
