shot in the dark... cad files for 510 connector?

[Lance_Wallen]

maybe not a cad file, just a diagram perhaps? I'm about to start machining some custom connectors/drip wells out of stainless and I'm collecting info. It's surprisingly hard to get things like depth to center pin, etc, without just going trial and error. I figured I'd ask and see if anyone has diagramed out a 510 connector and has the dimensions for the depth of 'air gap' in the barrel, depth of the threaded portion, depth to the center pin, etc. I have diameters but if they're on the diagram/file I won't complain

if no one has them I'll eventually post them up. I'm eventually going to be putting a number of CAD files out there for the community if they're interested in machining their own cases and/or having them printed at a 3d printing shop.

Here is a schematics for the GTUS connector, its not a traditonal 510 connector but it gives you the height of the threads, and overall length of the 510 connecton. I use a 3/16OD x 1/4"L nylon insert to isolate the center post, the internals will be different on the standard 510. But it gives you a couple more pieces to the puzzle.

nice. gonna have to eyeball that a while to get exactly what I'm lookin at, some of the lines aren't making sense right off the bat, but that's me being a tard not your diagram gonna look up that thing you're sayin it's a diagram for, see if I can compare it to a real object to figure out exactly what I'm staring at.

LOL, here this help?

Thanks for the pic, you're a gentleman and a scholar

No problem, maybe this will help. I took all the measurments, somone want to double check me

is that... the male 510 connector? if it is, I think I know why your diagram/picture is confusing me I'm lookin for the actual battery side lol.

Ok couple more

Center Pin:

Rubber Grommet:

EMS CAD files: (Must download the EMS software here Download)

Hope this helps some.

Welllll Crappppp
LOL

Give me a couple days

no rush man, I think I can figure it out just by doing a little trial and error. I don't have the CNC yet but I've got the lathe so I can turn down some parts and bore em out to do the exact measurements. Delrin is cheap and I've got a ton of random aluminum bits and bobs I can cut down for mockup purposes.

I appreciate the posts though, seriously... I've got a number of projects in my queue for building, the current mod is my first project, DNA powered 510 box with integrated battery. After that I've got plans for a built in rebuildable bottom feeder mod with a DNA board, an epipe with inductive charging and an 'ashtray' cradle, then I'll be working on specialized tanks, rebuildable 510 atties and a rebuildable bottom feeder that you can screw into a tube mod.

Hopefully I can put some pet project pics up soon, still getting the hang of autodesk inventor and tryin to decide if I really wanna go with the big fancy stainless steel switches or if i wanna shrink my form factor down some and use some smaller switches and pots. Right now my components take up almost as much room as my batteries!

Ok hows this, look better

Total airs space I am getting is 4.5mm - 5mm depending on the connector.
Oh I added this file to the filesanywhere file link above.

Nice!

Next time I drive to GA, I'll have to give ya a ring. I owe ya at least one beer for that
