Wanting to Build an Unregulated, Parallel Box Mod

[Bart]

I have already purchased the following components, and realized that some of the charts I see online require a resistor (at varying strengths) soldered to the mosfet. I have three questions:

1. What "strength" resistor do I need?
2. Is a higher "strength" resistor (27k) better than a lower strength (15k)?
3. What kind of master "on/off" switch (mounted internally) should I buy?

Here are the parts I have, currently:

• x1 Hammond 1590
• x1 AOI510 Mosfet
  
• x1 E-Switch
• x1 Alpinetech Switch (Alternative to E-Switch)
• x1 Fat Daddy v4 510 Connector with All Ring Sizes
• x1 Keystone 1048 Battery Sled
• 1/4" Magnets for Enclosure (Home Depot)
• 12ga & 14ga Stranded Copper Wire (Home Depot)
• Solder & Flux Paste (Home Depot)
• Heat Shrink Tubing (Home Depot)

I just ordered the following from Amazon:

• 15K Ohm Resistors
• 2-Position 0.5A ON/OFF

Can someone please help me find suitable resistors and a master on/off switch on DigiKey?

Here is the link to the Mosfet building thread. There is alot of good information and if you still have questions it would be a great place to ask.

Do I even need the mosfet with the switch I'm using? Also, is there a way to move this post to that thread without duplicating it?

Yes you will need a mosfet with those switches to be safe. Since 3034 mosfets are back ordered I would go with this one.

I already have the mosfets. I linked the ones that I have purchased in the first OP post. I'm looking for information on what type of resistor I need for the mosfet.

The ones in the link you posted from Amazon, are good.

Oh awesome, thank you! Also hoping that the I/O master switch is strong enough. May just wire this all up without it...
