Anti Spark Switch

Personal improvements/changes to the vedder antispark switch

Design allows for a battery to be connected to a source without the usual spark in the connector, also provides a convenient on off ability. Improvements to the design include an upgraded, more robust fuse and fuse holder, an additional MOSFET for higher current handling as well as better distribution of power through the MOSFETs. There is also the option of adding an LED powered through the PCB, the LED is powered after the MOSFET switch

There are two versions currently, with fuse and without fuse. The without fuse version is located in its own branch, master contains the fuse version

Questions

How big is the Anti Spark Switch PCB?

It measures 63.3 × 42 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Anti Spark Switch use?

31 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Anti Spark Switch KiCad files?

From the msglazer/Anti-Spark_Switch repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Anti-Spark-Switch.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Anti Spark Switch design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask msglazer before reusing the design.
