E-Match Capacitance Discharge Driver

Build a low-voltage, high-current model rocketry cacpacitance discharge E-Match system with the EZ-Rays LEDC15CDS.

This small lightweight driver uses only three external parts to make an easy to use Capacitance Discharge System for launching your rockets, secondary stages, or deploying streamers and chutes. Uses C, D-Cells, standard NiCAD's, NiMH or Lithium battery packs rated at 3.0 to 3.6 Volts. The LEDC15CDS will also operate on 1.5V without the need for special low amp pyrotechnic compounds.

A low voltage operating upon the CDS driver is utilized to provide a short-burst of high voltage/current using typical batteries and high energy capacitors that have lower working voltages. This allows the rapid heating and ignition of combustion capable compounds. The unit can deliver more than 5W of power to the bridge wire when configured as in the setup diagram.(example: Using a 1200 uF capacitor with a 3-Volt input will easily light a 12-Volt 7-Watt bulb fillment)

Uses batteries or wall adapters! Able to operate with Li Ion as well as NiCad/NiMH/Alkaline battery sources.
