Is it safe to vape on a MOSFET?
If you want to vape on a MOSFET, by all means, go right ahead. I will concede that it is a little more reliable than a variable output board, in that the MOSFET itself can be, at least in theory, de-soldered and replaced, but wherever there is a circuit board, there is fragility. Cowtown, USA.
What are MOSFET protection applications?
Basic Mosfet protection application becomes critical specifically in those circuits which involve high frequencies in the order of many kHz.
Are MOSFET mods liquid-proofed?
Most Mosfet mods are not liquid-proofed. I didn’t know that myself until now. The first thing you can do, if find out from the modder if they have water-proofed the Mosfet boards. This can only be done by the modder after soldering the wires in.
What is a MOSFET unit?
A MOSFET unit can help prevent the wearing of your airsoft gun's trigger contact. Airsoft brands can include a MOSFET system as standard (already installed). These types of airsoft rifles are recommended to use an 11.1V battery to run the system.
Why are mosfets included in circuits?
The above mentioned points regarding correct implementation of mosfets can be easily included in any circuit in order to safeguard mosfets from mysterious malfunctions and burning. Even in complicated applications such half-bridge or full bridge mosfet driver circuits along with some additional recommended protections.
Why do MOSFETs get damaged?
MOSFETs may get damaged if its junction temperature suddenly increases beyond the tolerable limit due to over voltage conditions across its internal body diodes. This occurrence is termed as avalanche in MOSFETs.
Do mosfets latch up?
Well, normally mosfets have the tendency to latch up whenever a switching voltage is applied, this latching effect can sometimes be hard to revert, and by the time an opposite switching current is applied it is already too late.
Can a MOSFET sense temperature?
It is mounted almost directly on the MOSFET, and is therefore able to sense the temperature with precision. If for any reason, the MOSFET drifts into a high temperature condition, this is sensed by the RTP, and at a predefined temperature, the RTP changes into a high-value resistor.
Why use a MOSFET?
The idea behind using a MOSFET is that the the actual physical switch you press doesn't need to take the full current - so the switches themselves can be more delicately built (i.e. cheaper) and don't suffer from the arcing and crud buildup that require regular maintenance on full mechanical mods. The physical switch only has to pass sufficient current to trigger the transistor. This does not mean that MOFSET mods can handle a higher current than mechanicals, as frequently the reverse is true.
What is an Eleaf Istick 21700?
Single 21700 battery with no regulation (you get what the battery is putting out). It is electronically switched and has a few basic protections.
