Adom Custom Electronic Load
Public Made by Adomby adom
Two-layer digitally controlled electronic-load prototype. Compact R11 is under active electrical, cooling and probe-access review; not a manufacturing release.

Its listed 0.21 N·m torsional figure is reference-only; NBK recommends half that for tightening (0.105 N·m), not the 0.452 N·m previously discussed for a metal screw/washer combination. The listed pack is 20 screws at $21.37 before delivery/tax. NBK explicitly warns that the resin’s 260 C rating does not establish the assembled screw’s operating limit. [Manufacturer dimensions and precautions](https://www.nbk1560.com/en-US/products/specialscrew/nedzicom/plasticscrew/SPE-C/SPE-M3-C/SPE-M3-8-C/). A nonconductive screw removes the metal-shank shorting mechanism, but it does not establish tab-to-sink insulation, clamp pressure, long-term preload or creep. The interface pad, support path, screw engagement and thermal-cycle validation remain necessary. Treat this as a candidate alternative to the unresolved sleeve geometry, not an approved assembly or BOM change.++## Spring-clip alternative (10 October; not adopted)++HALA TO-220-1 specifies approximately 55–85 N force, a 9.3 mm free height and an M4 attachment through a 4.2 mm hole. Both existing sink hole sizes (3.556 mm device and 3.7338 mm support) are smaller than the nominal screw diameter, so it is not a direct replacement. A separate anchor, loaded-geometry clearance and Q1 force compatibility remain necessary. No sink machining, board change or BOM adoption is implied.
