The first one came with some unknown error & I was hoping I just didn’t understand how to reset it as it has last state memory so I contacted the email address included in the package. I also messaged on here and Vanessa responded to me promptly giving me a cell number to Angelo who is a tech. I was able to send him a video via text & he assisted me with the product & it’s replacement then & there.
This is a new model I’m told and so far, no one else has had any issues but it’s great for what I want. I opened up the trash module to find everything sealed in a black silicon like adhesive. Once pulled out, the red LED side was exposed but there weren’t any components.
Angelo was very kind and definitely wanted to help. I appreciate all of their assistance & concern which is why I speak so highly of him & Vanessa.
Both products had a strange smell when I opened the packages but I think it was the anti-static bag they were shipped in. As with any surface mount device, always be careful loading them down to full draw as heat kills things but I think the silicon would help some in dissipating the heat to the metal housing. I only need a couple amps out of it personally with LEDs but I did test it on a 921 style incandescent & it worked out better than expected. There is good latching internally verses a pulsed signal, not that it’s relay driven, just that the IC has a good cutoff & you can see the on/off a lot better than some things that are made to pulse LEDs with PWM.
I was able to scrape off the silicon to find the chip part number & it’s an AOD403 30v 70A. There are x2 per side. Looks like there’s a processor that drives an LED & transistor to turn the mosfet on/off. The problem with mine appears that a transistor or one of the D403’s was bad & it was latched open.
Seems well made for small loads, I wouldn’t personally drive 5A per side (like a headlight) due to heat buildup but from what I could tell, it should at least do it if you wanted.... depends on how long & what flash pattern. I included a very lightened up board photo to show what I worked so hard to reveal.
Buy one, be easy with it & have fun. The wires are about 12” & the button is only a couple inches so expect to extend the wiring. Be easy to choose the right gauge of wire for the load & distance as to not overheat anything & if I were you, I’d use fuses on the in & out just to protect everything if you’re going to run a heavy load. I probed the grounds with a continuity & it seems like you wouldn’t need to wire up the negative out as long as the light was grounded to the input ground.
