Betz Botz Nano Power Switch
Betz Botz Nano Power Switch
This is the smallest, lightest, and most versatile screw switch for 150g and 1lb combat robots.
Not convinced you should buy one? The Nano Power Switch has a low profile design that won#39;t be the deciding factor of your robot#39;s frame height as well as the ability to fit into corners with up to a 2.85mm radius. In other words, there#39;s no longer a need for awkward switch placement with billet style frames.
Specifications:
Size: 10mm x 10mm x 2mm (height does not include screw head)
Max corner radius: 2mm or 2.85mm depending on orientation
Weight: ~0.3g (without screw), ~0.7g (with included screw)
Includes: Circuit board, M3 x 6mm black oxide button head screw
(Current has not been accurately tested on this board yet.)
Installation:
The switch can be glued in place or mounted with an M2 screw and the same M3 screw used to turn the switch on or off. This allows the user to choose any length of mounting screw and or put a nut on the back.
When soldering the switch it is critical that the M3 screw is screwed in with a very slight gap to the board. This allows solder to evenly distribute under and around the screw. This switch will not function if the solder height between pads is not equal!
