I usually put a piece of shrink tubing on the little brass screw with a drop of super glue to extend it, then anything with a small hole can be glued to the extension,

Those are nice. I want a couple pass throughs to go in my vehicles. I send all day driving and would like something thats not going to need batts. Any suggestions ? Would that setup like yours work on cig plug ?
Voltmeter LED display LM2596 DC-DC step-down adjustable voltage regulator module | eBay
I normally buy the the 2596 and the meter separately but here is one ready to go.
Wow a bit pricey got a link for the display ? Do you just connect to the out on the board ?and got to 510 connection.
Did my first 2596 box last night. So much easier ! Had someone express to me concerns about running 2 of the 14500s on it. Is this an issue to worry about ?
Also since I am new to this how does this compare to the ever cool unit Ive seen people talking about ?

You can use 2 14500s, no problem you can also go bigger and more batteries if you want, I use 11.1v Lipo.
Would someone draw how to wire a Mosfet to a LM2596 so I can use a tactical switch. Please say what mosfet and where to buy it. Most of us that are not electronic wizards would prefer a drawing and not a schematic. Thanks guys.
Will this work and do I connect it on the out or the in of the regulator?

I tried to get that to work BJ, never could...Jhonutz tried to walk me through it...seems it works when just using the IC but not in module form...however...this is off of one of Nicotimes threads...it's how to wire a mosfet into a cct that's more like a drawing and a little clearer to follow...the thing to remember is you're switching the negative not the positive. Be mindful of your polarities but just pretend that the atty con is the 2596's inputs...I'm no rocket surgeon but it should work...
Oh wait, I remember now...the reason it doesn't work in module form is because the trigger is hard wired to ground...I never did do it but if you de-soldered and lifted pin 5 off the board then you could use the trigger...I'm just waiting on a shipment of 2596's (long list of buddies wanting PT's, plus I'm hard installing one in the ashtray of my car and pwr it off my cigarette lighter cct, now that'll be a weird mod
)...I'll be wrapping my head around this subject again when they show...

Looks to be the same and connect the pos and neg shown at the atty to the in of the LM2596
I have some resistors ordered to try it on the 5 pin with a NC tact switch which was hard to find without paying the $8 shipping from Digikey.
I here you on Digikey shipping but at least you get the stuff super quick...even here in canada...3-4 days and the FedEx guy is at the door...I just wish you lived down the street BJ, I'd give you the stuff, lol...I have this pretty serious electronics store (almost commercial level) near by
RP Electronics - Test Instruments , Power Supplies , Inverters , Electronic Project Kits and more!
I'm swimming in resistors, trimmers, switches, Hammond boxes, etc...sure makes things easier, I go there on my lunch break and just think, oh and btw...what they don't have they'll order it in for you, guess where the get it from?...Digikey

Got a few new LM2596 with the meter already attached. Easy mod, just 4 solder points and ready to vape. I will be putting a on off on slide switch instead of the jumpers. Pretty cool for those that want any easy mod just more expensive than buying the meter and board separately.
All they need to do now is toss an ammeter on it a well and it'd be just about perfect...funny, I put an ammeter on my last PT if only for the bling factor...man!, I use it all the time....very helpful with SS wick re-buildables and spotting shorts
