I was toying with the idea of having a custom host made with a deadman switch at the tail for safety.
While in most production lasers with a deadman switch at the tailcap (or "remote switch connector" according to laserbtb's term used on their site), it is basically a headphone male plug which plugs into a hole/jack in the tailcap.
However, in some production lasers, they provide a modified headphone plug which is noninsulated - it is a solid metal plug without the black plastic rings separating positive and negative poles since this is not needed for a laser application.
Since this type of solid metal plug can carry a higher amp rating thru it, and because using this solid plug won't require the step of soldering a connecting wire, I was interested in locating such a noninsulated solid metal plug.
I know this isn't a common piece of electronic equipment but does anyone know where I can find one on the net?
Thank you for your help.
