Wiring Help

[WharfRat1976]

If anyone has time, I just want to confirm how to wire this.

I have the feeder needle running directly through one switch terminal so that connects is done.

what are the rest of connection?

Thanks for any suggestions.

The open terminal of the switch goes to the + of the batt.
The - of the batt goes to the outer terminal of the 510.

You need a wire going from the negative terminal of the battery to the hole in the ring at the top of the thing.. I mean I see a little hole made for the connection at the top of the 510 connector in the picture.

You need a wire going from the positive of the battery to the switch.

- I'm assuming the feed tube from the bottle connects to the switch, and connects to the positive pin on the 510 connect.
- I don't know why the switch has 2 screw posts but I'm assuming they are the same electrically.

If it's a metal box then you can use only the 1 wire for the positive, and the negatives could all connect to the metal of the box.

The feed needle IS the positive pin and is attached to the switch using the set screw.

As edyle have suggested, if you are using a metal box, you can connect the black from the battery holder to the box.

BTW, ohms law.... 3.7v battery at 1.2ohm = 3 Amp
So check your switch rating is at least 5 amp using 1.2ohm coil.

Safer to use 4.2V when determining current load.

I am crafting a wood box so I assume the following.

1. The unused switch terminal goes to the positive battery side.
2. The 510 negative connec goes to the negative side of the battery sled.

I was not sure if I also needed to go from the feeder needle to the positive battery side of the sled.

That would bypass the switch and fire continuously

Thank you---That would not be good

Do you have a link to a good looking switch, a vandal proof domed button with a 5 amp rating?

Thanks.

1:
As I said, I assume the 2nd terminal is electrically the same as the 1st; you can verify using an meter; ohms should be 0 between the 2 points.

The switch connects the positive from the battery to the feed tube.

2:
Yes the 510 negative connector - the little hole at the top, goes to the negative side of the battery sled.

I ohm'd out the switch and yes, it reads 0. All good. Thank you.

edyle, do you use stranded wire for mod connections? Just curious.

I haven't made anything like that, but I'd use stranded wire, but preferably metal plates where convenient inside the box.

Google or search ebay for 5a momentary switch.
Also, read more about mosfet switch before you start.
