My Boxmod Passthrough

[drew]

I had a few bits and pieces lying around so I decided to throw together a little boxmod passthrough that would connect directly to the 5V of my PC power supply. The result is this the "MBP" There is nothing fancy inside the box, just straight wiring from the dc jack to the switch and 510.

What I used:
Aluminium project box
510 connector from dead ego
Push button switch
2.5mm Copper wire
DC jacks
Molex connector

The power supply itself can supply 30A at 5v but due to limitations in the wiring and connectors I'm playing it safe. I wrapped a 2ohm 32G parallel coil which works out to a 2.5A draw and 12.5W...loving it!

Please excuse the quality of the cellphone pics.

Wow, amazing work @drew
So just that I understamd correctly, this has to be plugged in? I.e. There is no battery inside?

@Silver Yip, no battery, it's just something to use while sitting at the pc.

@crack2483 A standard USB2 port can only supply 0.5A so that's 2.5W or USB3 0.9A and 4.5W.

Thanks everyone for all the positive comments!
