MOSFET question: Plug in VS wired?
I've been reading up on the use of MOSFET's and have been lookign around at different brands and such.
Recently I came across this: http://www.torontoairsoft.com/Burst-...it_p_1640.html And am wondering what the difference is between that and a kit that you have to hard wire into your gearbox? If this plug n play thingy works, why would you mess about with hard wiring a unit?....sounds to good to be true...must be a catch...like it's not gonna save your trigger contacts from way back there by the battery?

with a plug in unit you still have to rewire your gearbox for it the same as a hard wired unit, however when the hardwired unit fails your gun is down. with a plug in unit you can swap to a different one. Depends what you have room for inside your gun.
Both will work no matter where they are on your gun. |

If you do not have to rewire it, it is not a mosfet.
Yes, even if they say so. Edit for clarity: Think about it, if the current loop still passes by the contacts, how will an electronic device prevent the mechanical contact of the trigger from having any damage? Last edited by K3vX; November 22nd, 2013 at 14:46.. |

But the physical protection would not be there....sometimes its good to talk these things out. |

The plug-in "MOSFET" can do a burst fire control, and probably a ROF adjustment, but not the benefits related to the less resistance of the MOSFET, and of course it can't protect the trigger contacts.

^ what he said
And there are TWO reasons to get a mosfet; to save your trigger contacts from the very damaging effects of arcing, which the plug in accomplishes by essentially soft starting the circuit. But also REDUCING CURRENT IN THE TRIGGER. The main issue with high voltage batteries is arcing, so if you eliminate or reduce arcing, everyone thinks they're good to go on high voltage batteries. Until they melt their trigger contacts because they were putting way too much current through the switch and it melted all the plastic around it. |
