FatBoy Sparky Switch 300A 60V Anti-Spark Switch

@Nordle I used connector only for the holes, I will not be populating it to not increase the height of whole thing.

@Martinsp I am not connecting FET directly to MCU as I am using high side switching for that I am using gate driver. Regarding high capacitance load you need to control output voltage rise time in order prevent killing FET

Naaajs! Need to get payed now so I can order one or 2

We received the PCB but there was a mistake made by me… Ground planes were disabled then I was generating gerbers… But for testing, it will be more than enough to see the performance of it.

After first turn on, with some light load of 10A it was working fine, next step is bit higher constant 80A don’t have yet higher current source available to test higher constant currents :wink:

Im sold if 80amp constant works out :slight_smile:

Some updated information regarding the switch, we have done some testing and decided that even at low currents like 50A constant heat-sink is required so we are making a aluminum case there MOSFET will sit inside and PCB will cover it.

The price will be 70 eur + VAT + Shipping.

It will be available in 1-2 Weeks ordered new PCB today.

For the Spark Switch , I saw someone sale it with IRFS7530 MOSFET and someone sale it with IRFS7730. which is best for use?

They are all too small for this application :wink:

Thanks. good to know it. For the MOSFET of your Sparky switch, is it SOT-227 ?

It’s mosfet in SOT-227 package

Just curious what voltage this was at?

10S didn’t have other batteries available, but it should work same with 12s and 14s

Was just trying to get a ballpark for the wattage passing through. Thanks…

50a aint much… I want you to crush this dude! (@Kug3lis) 50a is like last years tech…

quote in total, 50a is not fat, it is not that much.

put another way: a 300a esc that can only do 50a… is not that much

I said 50A needs heatsink not that it handles that much maximum :wink:

What mosfet are you using exactly? I would try to find the one within desired Voltage&Amp ratings and lowest possible drain to sourece resistance [Rds on], that should keep temps as low as possible.

I have already found one :wink: and calculated everything required for it :slight_smile:

Just received mosfets :slight_smile:

where can you buy fuses?
