Description
The Just ‘Cuz PCB Switch is perfect for small combat robots! It can deliver more current than XT30 connectors can handle, so it’s very unlikely to be the bottleneck in any robot 3 pounds and under.
Please make sure to solder around the insert nut on the side opposite the screw before using it to ensure a good electrical connection between the nut and the board! CAD files available here.
Features & Specs:
- Footprint of 23mm x 16mm, just 1.6mm thick at the board
- Weight: 3.01 grams (0.107oz)
- M3 or #4 screw through-hole mounting locations
- Massive solder pads on rear for easy flat connections
- Plated through-holes sized for #16 and #14 wire (smaller or larger gage is still super easy to use)
- Included and preinstalled 8-32 tin-plated press nut (solder this to the surrounding copper to create better surface contact!)

Additional Info
This little board is pretty much identical to what is on the AIO PD board, but now can be remotely located anywhere inside your robot! This board is very compact, accepts wires up to 14 gauge easily, and should handle current in excess of what will melt XT30 connectors with ease. Need a switch for your 3lb beetleweight or 1lb antweight that is compact, lightweight, and can fit in tight spaces? This is for you!
You can probably also use this switch as a drive power switch or modular power switch in larger bots as it should handle current bursts way above its continuous rating. The only limitation is heat - this switch will operate perfectly until it reaches a temperature of over 90C (194F).
