Tasks not yet done
  • Place two series-connected PH2.0 connectors (E_STOP_IN1, E_STOP_IN2)
  • Select and place a logic-level N-channel MOSFET (≥50 V, 60 A)
  • Add 10 kΩ pull-up and gate-to-source resistors
  • Wire ESP32 IO12 through connectors to MOSFET gate and add resistors
  • Insert MOSFET into ground return path and sever the direct ground link
  • Rename nets to E_STOP_CONN1, E_STOP_CONN2, E_STOP_DRIVE, E_STOP_PATH
  • Run ERC to verify there are no floating pins or violations
Success criteria
  • E-stop circuit not yet integrated; criteria are not met.
Next step Move on to the “Key components” phase: pick and add the two PH2.0 connectors and the 50 V/60 A MOSFET to the schematic.

    36 V Contactor Coil Driver with Safe Kill Loop, 3.3 V Logic, SPI IMU, 24 V/5 A Buck, and ESP32 IO12-Driven E-Stop MOSFET via Series PH2.0 Safety Connectors #E_STOP #MOSFET #PH2.0 #SAFETY

    Properties

    36 V contactor coil driver with safe kill input loop interface and 3.3 V logic control.

    Base-emitter pull-down for Q1 ensuring coil off when IC1 output is high-Z or low.

    Low-side NPN transistor (Q1 MMBT5551) with flyback diode (D2 UF4007) across coil between Net 1 (36 V) and Net 14 (Q1 collector).

    Base/gate series resistor limiting drive from IC1 to Q1 (switching control).

    R3 (10k), C4 (100nF) to GND provide RC filtering; R4 (1k) provides series input protection and loop termination from CN3.

    2-pin connector for external safe kill loop input (Safe Raw on pin 1, GND on pin 2).
