What is a MOSFET switch?
A MOSFET switch is a high-power solid state electronic switch that takes the power normally dissipated through the trigger switch assembly and instead routes that power through a Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). With this type of circuitry, the trigger switch is only used to send a very low-power signal to the MOSFET switch. The MOSFET switch then turns the current on and off without any arcing or damage to the trigger switch and wear is virtually eliminated and its lifetime is extended indefinitely. Amazingly, the MOSFETs used in Extreme-Fire products could deliver up to 5000 Watts of power to the motor, but no Automatic Electric Gun (AEG) motor will even need that much. What are the advantages of using a MOSFET switch? A typical AEG must deal with a current of up to 50 Amps or more every time the trigger is pulled. (Note that electrical switch wear greatly increases in upgraded guns where current reaches 75 to 100 amps!) This very high current causes a stan
