power supply

[GENO]

i have a

25mm NUBM08 455nm Diode In 25mm Copper Module W/Driver Lens Option: DTR-G-8 Glass Lens Driver/Current Range/Power Source: Super X-Driver/2A-4A/6V-12V 4A+

was wondering what type of power supply to get so i can put it in an airsoft gun. i have 2 18650 batteries and i need to add an on/off switch somewhere inside there .any thoughts?

If you want to use that gun as an encapsulated you can use wire the circuit with AWG 18 copper wires(or AWG 16) so the conexions can stand 4Amps. 'Cause you're using a driver the work is more easy! only with a switch (or push button), and a reverse diode (as a protection for the bateries, but is not necessary) you can control the laser (in my opinion, you can set the circuit in the butt). Remember that that diode has reverse zener diode protection, so make sure that is rightly connected.

thanks for the info. set what circuit in the butt? and not sure what you mean by reverse diode protection and what wired correctly ....

I mean in the lowest part of the gun, the reverse diode allows you to block reverse currents that can damage your power supply or your circuit, AWG means American Wire Gauge, it's a table that defines the differents parameters of your copper conductor (the one that you should use to make the connexions). If you want even more protection to your circuit you can implement a series resistor of 1K between the bateries and the Driver X.
