My first build: Naos Raptor 10amp chip

[zaphodbeebs]

So I built my first mod. I decided to try using the 10amp Raptor chip from GE (NQR010A0X4Z). The whole chip is pin compatible to the OKR, so it is more or less the same as an OKR build.

I built it into an Altoids tin...a bit of a tight fit, but it all made it okay.

Parts List:

• Digikey:
  • Raptor (NQR010A0X4Z)
    
  • 18650 Battery Holder
    
  • 200ohm thumbwheel pot
    
  • 10uF electrolytic caps
    
• madvapes:
  
  • -Horn switch
    
  • -510 connector
    

I used the tin because I have a ton of them, bit of an addict. The tin was easy to work with, but required plenty of dremeling burrs off of the holes. I soldered the 510 connector to the case...probably an electrocution hazard, but it ain't going no where. The wiring is haphazard and awful. I initially was dryfitting stuff, then sort of soldered it all together. I'll clean it up next build for it...function over form as they say.

I'll update on how it runs as I get more use out of it. So far, it hits amazing. Better than my mech mod on a 1.3ohm micro coil. Pretty pumped about it.

I'm going to update this thread with greater build details when I get the time. I'll make some pretty schematics and such. Let me know if you all have any questions in the mean time!

very clever - like

Very nice. Well done!

Isn't that just a relabeled OKR-T/10?

Looks great. From what I've heard this chip can do 120 w. Really looking forward to you schematic being posted so I can attempt to build my own.

Thanks for posting this

I have always liked the tin mods. BTW, shrink tube works good to cover / insulate instead of the tape.

That is for the 20A version (Although the current limit inception point on the 10A is 200% so it might be able to go to 120W for a short while, might not)

so are you running caps with our resistors? how do i wire up the caps.

How did this end up working for you? I've been thinking of doing an OKR-T10 build for myself, but the chips aren't as easy to get as these. Did you have to do anything differently from the standard OKR-T10 setups?

Very good looking set-up, although the masking tape makes me a little weary. It isn't rubber based, so wouldn't work the best as an insulator. I'd think about some heat shrink tubing, or at least some electrical tape.
