What type / make / brand is this connector? It lives in my old Pentax S5z digital camera and I'd like to use it.

Doesn't look like 'just' 10mA to me :-(

1A / div The desired current is 10mA, which is reached in the end. Unfortunately any sensitive device would have been killed way before that (e.g. a LED).

V0.1 board assembled. It works OK once all the bugfixes have been applied to it. Left-over PCBs might be found here .

The same 2 MOSFETS again

I had to add these two (back-to-back) to get the thing to run stably. I don't know if it is the dummy load or the DUT that starts to oscillate...

2 P-CH MOSFETS

They are used as reverse polarity protection. These tiny SOT23 parts (AO3401) are really quite beefy. They exhibit about 50mOhm (logic level drive) and can take up to 4A each. The most they will have to tolerate on this board is 2.5A each. I got these on ebay. A pack of 50pcs is about 12$ including shipping.

Believe it or not, but I couldn't find a battery holder with usable CAD drawings.
