[Feeler Thread] Copper direct-connected 20mm triples and quad universal MCPCB boards

It’s a very sexy design. Will there be a solder paste stencil or .brd file available for getting them made and what do you use for jumpers?

Wool.

Sorry, couldnt resist.

Wait… I just realised that wont mean a thing to half the forum. Jumper = knitted sweater/pullover

Hank, thank you a lot! Amazing demonstration!

Rufusbduck, usually I make it with little piece of silver 22Ga wire ) there are no paste on board but I may give you Gerber file if you need

I would definitely be in for a few of the quads once those are ready.

I see the LEDs goes on differently for serial vs parallel. Might put S, P- and S-, P on those pads in the silkscreen.

I asked Hank at CNQG about stencils and he said they won’t be selling any. I have a query in now about releasing the file so we can have them made at Oshstencil but whoever is more proactive on this will certainly have a leg up on the competition.

Me too.

Sooo, where are the screw holes?

Nice job Dsche! and thanx Hank for those test results. What is the thickness of the boards? That picture you have seemed to clip off the reading. I'd love to see these at 2 - 2.5 mm thick.

Noctigon triple doesn't have screw holes either.

It doesn't have a hole for wires to pass through the center. That may be a deal breaker in smaller lights. The 4XP version does though.

But center hole can be used for exactly that purpose, I plan to use it like that!

hi Dsche, any news of these boards? I have a nice plan for a quad board, I hope there will be some available at some stage.

Thanks.

Hi guys!

Sorry for delay (I’ve already said it? Heh. Sorry anyway)

Quads are ready at last, and now all boards on the its way to me (and some early adopters)

I hope it’s needed about two weeks more for delivery to me

I think example number 3 in the first post is wrong. It looks like you are driving it with 7135s with leds in parallel, but you are using two cells in series?

So how close are we to getting some quads, definitely going to give it a whirl…

Might get the quad board, and the optic

Anyone have suggestions for a good host? (most definitely going to throw a OSHPark FET at it…4x emitters need da powah!

Maybe, but it work





2all, finally got it!

Please PM me if you need some )

First build with copper (silvered) quad

Wow! I've never seen this kind of P60 heatsink, even from your previous builts over at Fonarevka and CPF, Dsche.

Wanna see more of it.

MustSimon, yes, it’s new )

I’ve announce this new system a few days ago on CPF and on Fonarevka too – welcome to discuss!
