Hi Guys,
I just released an Ultra Reliable Switch for RC.
Maybe you know, i'm designing FPV electronics but this product not for FPV :)
We are sharing same flight field with gliders,glow and electric planes and most important problems was switches for everyone.
This is why we designed this small circuits
Standard slider type switches are the most important crash reason on glow planes/gliders and they can affect from vibration, dust, oil and moisture.
Ultra Reliable Switch works when only slider switch mechanical off, and you are forcing to close it when switch on. This electronic design uses high power MOSFET for opening the switch and current limit is extremely higher than all mechanical switches.
We are using 20Ah MOSFETs for this small switches and they can handle 100Ah peak currents on hard conditions.
You can use it with your Gliders, Glow planes or Small EP planes.
Features
- Low Quiescent Current (50uA on 5Volt)
- Very Low Internal Resistance (0.006 Ohm on 5V)
- Wide Operation Voltage (2-30Volt)
- Very High Current Resistance (20A Continuous, 100A Pulsed)
- Onboard LED indicator
- Large Soldering Pads
Usages
- Receiver battery switching for Glow and Gliders
- Ignition system switch for Fuel Engines
- LiPO switch for small EP planes (20A Max)
- Safe Switch for other hobby electronics
Comments
I'm planning higher amper versions but not in short term, This version useful for replacing receiver switches, maybe 50Ah version will useful for switching LiPO batteries :)
Great, a simple solution to a potentially complex problem .... like it
You are completely right :)
Thanks for this great explanation
I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with any of this, simply trying to clarify the purpose.
It closing circuit when slider off
Opening it when slider on
just reverse than normal slider. And this idea increasing reliability 10 times more than normal switch and electronic contact handling 10 times more current than mechanical one.
