Protected Mosfet

From RepRap
Jump to: navigation, search

A protected MOSFET contains integrated transient surge protection circuitry (a source-drain zener) and is less susceptible to electrostatic discharge and other transients, as compared to standard, unprotected MOSFETs.

A "intelligent switch" contains, in addition, an integrated temperature sensor, and automatically turns itself off if it gets too hot. [1] [2] [3]

MOSFET choice, when you are soldering, may be construed as "kind of a personal thing". In RepRap designs the standard is N Channel MOSFETs. Any of the below should work in any electronics you solder, the difference is in the voltage and current they (can) handle. Zener diodes built in will prevent MOSFETs from bgeing damaged if incorrectly 'wired' in, or if voltage or current spike exceeds capacity.

Nearly all RepRap electronics in 2017, including all designs below, use N channel MOSFETS. Examples of MOSFETS (most are protected) in RepRap electronics are:
