Yea, that's break current arcing, it's pulling like 250ma.

2022-12-11 23:15:04 +0000 UTCDid you see that spark when the clip was removed from the coil? Definitely need a diode in there to control that inductive kickback. I had some of these as a kid and they were great for when I didn't have a push-on/push-off button. They made the same noise as yours. Brings back great memories. Thanks for the demo!
