DIY pass through

[mrp978]

I put a pass through together out of a cigarette light adapter. Its my first one so be gentle.

They ones that have a screw holding them together are the easiest to work on and got a nice strain relief.

I guess no one wanted to be gentle so they didnt reply.

Looks like a great mod. You should have seen my first passthrough. Although it was right when i quit smoking and due to battery problems it was more a necessity . I ripped the 510 connector out of a dead battery took a big fat pill bottle drilled 3 holes in it hot glued a usb cord in one end the 510 connector in the other. All i had was a toggle switch so that got slapped in the top. Major ghettoized mod i slapped together but hey it kept me from buying a pack of smokes.

Lol, My first pass through was soldiered to a 510 to 901 adapter. No case just dangling wires and a switch.

OP: looks great, but more importantly, as long as it works, there is not a whole lot to complain about, right? I tend to shoot for function before form.

lol I can relate, mine was a 510 battery connector soldered to a BNC cable that I powered via lab power supplies at work. Ultimate variable voltage!

My first.

Started with a 2A supply, went to a 2.5A. I'm now back to 2A with this one.

Hi ,gee that's sad "the ONLY reply" Shucks if I saw it before I would have replyed as I have the most minimal knowlege of any electrical stuff.In fact I've saved it to my Favs file.Can you give a bit more detail like step by step how you made it?I happen to have that adapter just collecting dust and I just might be able to do this one.Thanks...

what piece is that you used for a juice well?

 

[WillyB]

It's actually more for support and a heat sink. That connector gets a bit hot at higher volts.

#10 or 12.

I picked up a 75 cent switch at Radio Shack and clipped the USB cord off of a dead keyboard. $10 5V 2000mA AC to USB power adapter (Rhino) from Fry's. Some blue electrical tape so I can't pull the cord out. Positive lead soldered to switch. Switch to center contact for addy. Negative soldered to end cap by switch.

Works good.
