Well first the things that Im sure I understand what your asking.

D Mag ID at top:1.349
C Mag ID at top:1.033

Ok If im understanding what you want correctly is the ID of the head above the threads.
D mag: 1.902
C mag: 1.901

Depth from ledge to bottom of lense:
D mag: 0.765
C mag: 1.080


These measurements are from the newer mags with the battery size letter preceding the serial number.
Hope this helps you out.

Tim
Opps,
I missed something. On that depth from the ledge to the bottom of the lens add 0.052 to each one of those measurements. I didnt account for the lip on the reflector
before.

Hi guys... can anyone give me Size, Pitch and Major diameter of two Mag Lite threads.
One is the head thread that screws onto the body of a Maglite 2AA.
The second one is the head thread of a Mag2D (new version) where the head part "receives" the front ring that holds down the reflector.

Size, Pitch and Major diameter D cell bezel
TPI 20
Maj 2.116
Min 2.080
Thread length .225
O-ring length .375 (from end of light to far side of o-ring recess)

Size, Pitch and Major diameter AA minimag head end
TPI 5 TPI leead x 4 starts for a pitch of 20 TPI
Maj .683
Min .610
Thread length .618
O-ring length .750 (from end of light to far side of o-ring recess)

bump..

does this need to be sticky?

 

[gadget_lover]

Well, Cy, it's already referenced in the "threads of interest" thread. It would be more visible as a sticky, but I don't think that's necessary.

After all, if you do your own machining, you'll spend hours and hours making parts you could buy for a dollar apiece. What's another 5-10 minutes searching the forum?

Might be a good thing to sticky this...very useful info!!

Could someone post the diameter and length of a Pila 150S (and for reference, other Pilas if available) please?

TIA

 

[nekomane]

OK, Jon's site states that they are 50mm x 17mm diameter, but I need a precise measurement to order some tubes.
Anyone please?

 

[gadget_lover]

When it comes to batteries, you are better off going with the advertised specs instead of the measurement of samples. It's quite common for batteries to be built to a nominal size that's just a bit less than the maximum size allowed by the standard or specification. This allows the company to vary their manufacturing process if they need to.

On the other hand, if you are hand matching batteries to tubes, and have the luxury of sending things back, you can make more precise fits by measuring your sample of batteries before buying the tubes.

Thank you gadget_lover,
I checked with some alkaline AAs (stated as 14mm) and like you say, they were all a bit shy of 14mm. But when measured where the 'wrapping' overlaps, they measured 14.04mm and would not fit smoothly into a 14mm tube.
I guess I will use a piece of solid material and add a bit to the diameter. Was hoping to avoid the whole boring process by using tube material but..
Thanks again.

Could someone please post the thread specs on the SF M and C series ? The C appears to be 20 TPI, but I was hoping someone could be more specific for me.

 

[Bravo25]

I would love to see someone with CAD abilities do some diminsionally correct drawings of Surefires.


Anybody?

 

[gadget_lover]

Mag C body to head...

28 tpi
1.235 measured diam of body threads (external)
1.209 measured diam of head threads (internal)

Single sample was measured.

It looks like the thread profile is a sloppy sharp V with a slightly rounded root and crest.

Mag C has a tailcap with a major diameter of 1.090 inch and a pitch of 20 TPI.
According to my calculations, the minor diameter should be 1.0358 inch

Can someone please post the thread specs of the HDS EDC.

Can anyone give the thread sizes for the HDS EDC?

Anyone know the tail cap thread size for the MiniM@G?

Best I can tell, it's either 5/8" x 28 (if SAE) or 16mm. x .9 (if metric).

 

[ouchmyfinger]

5/8-28, same as a Kroll Switch.

Kiu,

The Surefire E series are 13/16-20 for the head and 11/16-20 for the tail cap.

Is there a public record of the exact physical specifications (such as internal diameter) of the various Surefire/Aleph standards? Hopefully something with units
