I’m designing a Super High Current Driver and i’m looking for a source for 1mm+ thick springs.
Does anyone know where I can find some?
Why not do spring bypass with some chunky wire for the negative and a solid brass pillar for the positive?
I wouldn’t recommend spring bypass on the positive end, if it comes loose, there’s more chance of shorting.
Assuming you’re using an e-switch? If not, I’m not sure which of the mechanical clickies are the best nowadays, you might find the switch melts before the springs though.

Maybe?

Yeah it’s an e-switch driver with multiple FETs.
The Positive spring will definitely be bypassed with 18ga or larger wire.

I was looking for those on intl-outdoor but couldn’t find them, Thanks!
MTN was OOS.
Another option, at least for future reference…

I’m surprised those are only rated for 2A… The high current ones are only rated to 8A. =/
The best spring i see is in the Fireflies E12R. i don’t know how to find but you ask to Jack.
Other best spring are In Mc Clicky switch.
How ironic, that is almost the same way old torches were done in the 70’s and 80’s. (But without the spring underneath.)

I looked and couldn’t find anything close to these.
If you do some simple maths, a 2cm long 18AWG bypass will only drop about 900mV at 100A. If you only need say 50A you could do a dual 18AWG bypass (I normally wind silicone wire around the outside so it can still flex)
