Vedder anti spark switch v1.3 *KIT* [currently out of stock]

Finally got some free time to test my soldering job. @DeathCookies thanks a bunch daniel i got the switch figured out no led though. Superb customer service and timing for shipping to the states. Check off another peice to the puzzle. Enjoy the pics.

Awesome! Thanks for the update!

Any more of these switches?

I am wondering the same thing, if they will be offering these kits again?

Currently there are two left. One message with pay information is out.

Who is gonna pay it first will get one ore two :wink:

I had planned to make anohter grou buy but this time with the

Anybody interessted?

LED switch! LED switch! LED switch!

What Amp limit is this switch rated? Need something for my 80A dual builds :monkey: Also - price?

I want to build a dual FET switch which is up to 100A.

More or less the same price as this set. I think it will be a bit more expensive but include everything!

Hey guys thanks for your interest in my switch! I have two variants for my design, a single FET 40A design and a dual FET 80A design. Though both these switch’s can handle burst currents of a lot higher and temporarily drawing more current going up a steep hill for example. I personally use my single FET design and I see 0 heat rise on it going very fast. Also my prices are $25 for single FET, that includes it pre soldered with XT60 connectors as well, and $35 for dual FET. Though if you plan on doing a group buy I could definetly make that a lot cheaper per unit. Also if you guys were interested in just a kit, including all the components and PCB I could do it for even cheaper.

@DeathCookies Why do you want to go a step back and using a perfboard instead of a “normal PCB”? For me that looks strange.

Who has told you that i am going to use a perfboard?? I just told you that i will make a group buy for this specific switch (because i do not think there is a better one? = Performance/size/features)

I will order some pcbs and make a Kit like this thread here :wink: If anybody is interessted just tell me that i can plan how much i am going to buy

Maybe you should look at your first post in this thread to see a better one… :slight_smile: I think that his design isn’t a 2 layer PCB is bad from the thermal perspective, because you haven’t vias to the other side where you can cool the FETs if you want to. I don’t see the size of his design over in the other thread, but I don’t think that it is much smaller. But do whatever you like.

It seems as his switch is a tiny bit smaller but now much. But it is smaller than the eboard mosfet switch which get very wide…

Maybe you can recommend me a better switch where i can directly attach a switch LED. Somehow I do not like the idea to get the power for the led switch from the VESC: What is when you have a OPTO ESC?

I don’t see any problem using the power from the VESC.

What if you dont have a vesc, a normal Esc without bec. Then you need go get another Power supply. This is the Part i dislike: Why should i use a Power supply from another component?

thats the main reason i don´t like using the vedder switch. Imagine a vanguard build with 2 enclosures. You don´t want to go back with the cables from the vesc enclosure to your battery, just for using a nice switch.

And an additional BEC is not needed because you can easily integrate the LED into The switch.

Hey I have got skills in PCB making. So all I need is the part list with which resistance R1, R2 etc… And do I need to load any drivers or is it just solder on/smd.

I ask this because Im gonna intergrate this inside the circuit for my board reciever with lights, bluetooth, 2.4ghz remote etc…

The BOM is on Vedder’s github

And no it doesn’t need drivers
