TID mod MOSFET replacement.
- Thread starter FrankyD61
- Start date
I was going to suggest looking at Fat Daddy's but did so myself. It seems Fat Daddy doesn't carry MOSFETs. Not sure exactly which particular MOSFET you require, might start looking here though. From what a gather about MOSFETs as relates to our mods, they're usually a 3 Amp type of switch/part.
I'm sure someone with better info on mosfets and mods using them will along be shortly to help you. Maybe @DogMan has some insight, or knows who might. I use purely mechanical mods, so far. Hope I've helped.
Welcome home too, fellow vaper.

Welcome home too, fellow vaper. Thanks for the warm welcome ☺. If possible i might be able to replace it myself but it is always easier to send it out and have it done. I need the specs on the type of MOSFET i would need if nobody offers a repair service. Thanks for the help guys its grealty appreciated.I was going to suggest looking at Fat Daddy's but did so myself. It seems Fat Daddy doesn't carry MOSFETs.

i think the FETs sonar uses are over 100amp rated, studiovape's are 15amp with resettable fuse
depends on your needs, the internal resistance is a factor for some people, amp limit others, and some degree of safety in needing it to be a fused one important for others
Ah, I see. Well, I live and learn.
Hope tomorrow brings new lessons as well. I've seemingly gotten a couple today. *chuckles* That's living and life for us. 
Here is the one that goes into probably 90% of the parallel and series mods out there.

Is that the one you would use?
Sorry had to be away from computer . The 15k resistor is soldered between the Gate pin and the Source pin. (or in other words the two outer legs of mosfet. I usually just form the legs of resistor into a U shape and tuck body of resistor on top of mosfet butting it against the metal plate. Or if you were talking about insulating the mosfet from the enclosure then what most do is put heat shrink around the mosfet and individual legs where they are soldered to the wires. Although some people claim that enclosing mosfet in heat shrink can lead to faster failure due to heat build up on mosfet. So your choice. I pretty much always make my mods out of wood so never have to worry about insultaing it.
