    Loctite on electrical connections

    Is a two nut solution (+Loctite on the upper nut) as "vibration proof" as shakeproof washers? If so I'd go that route indeed! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Loctite on electrical connections

    The parallel connection of the two diodes is pictured on page 6 of this PDF (3rd picture): http://www.re-voltage.eu/downloads/ID80V2datasheetR1.pdf You can see that the two diodes are stacked together and paralleled through spacers (see connection at the right of the diode: the wire is attached...

    Loctite on electrical connections

    I don't exactly get what you mean by tapping the lead to both sides. You mean I should use an eyelet on both sides of the board and connect them together through a piece of wire? The board is two sided. For some connections, the eyelet just need to touch the board on one side. However two of...

    Loctite on electrical connections

    I can't seem to find shakeproof washers made of brass (found just one set for M4 on ebay but I need M3). Do you think that using washers in stainless steel or zinc plated could cause galvanic corrosion with brass? It seems that zinc plating could be a problem when put in contact with brass and...

    Loctite on electrical connections

    Great! I'll try to find similar washers in brass for M3 bolts. I'd prefer stay with everything brass as mixing metals may potentially cause galvanic corrosion and increase the resistance I guess. Will go with the washers + a drop of Loctite 270 after assembly. Should do the trick. Thanks!

    Loctite on electrical connections

    They are no more available for now but I do have them already as I ordered them last year already. I miss all the other stuff though (too many things to do and had no time to start the project yet).

    Loctite on electrical connections

    Thanks for all your answers and suggestions! I can't post pics for now as I don't have the parts at hand, it's still on the todo list. But I will build a Y cable with ideal diodes to connect two Li-ion battery packs in parallel (with possibly different voltages). The ideal diodes are pictured...

    Loctite on electrical connections

    Hi, I'm using small PCB boards which are to be connected using eyelet crimped terminals and brass bolts/nuts. The bolts/nuts are M3. I'd like to prevent the nut from unscrewing because the system will be mounted on an electric bike (lots of vibration). I'm thinking about using a threadlocking...

    Connecting two battery pack in parallel with a MOSFET

    Thanks for your comments guys! I must confess that I didn't get everything as I'm just starting in electronics but I got that something was not perfectly OK with the diagram. However maybe I missed something but I do not intend to use the MOSFET as a diode. The MOSFET would be used as a...

    Connecting two battery pack in parallel with a MOSFET

    It is a N-MOSFET so drain and source are connected to the negative. The gate is connected to the positive.

    Connecting two battery pack in parallel with a MOSFET

    Hi, I'm new to this forum, and new to electronics in general. However I own an electric bike and I'd like to extend its range by plugging a second Li-ion battery pack (called extender) in parallel with the original one. Basically my goal here is to build a small electronic device that allows...
