Gate Pico and PicoAB Mosfet

Darth Phoenix

This is not a question or nothing, just decided to post up a picture of these really tiny fets.

I have used the non active one "left" and found it really well and tough for it's size. I have only popped them in under 26 rep aeg's so far but I like them and the shag all space they take up is nothing really as shown from the pic.

Used the AB one in a few current builds and not bad at all considering the size and cost of them. Again for a tight space, In let's say a stock tube their ideal and not a budget breaker really.

I haven't fully tested the AB version properly yet, a torture test is long overdue to see what happens 3:)

Just thought I share the picture of them in case anyone was curious about them and their size in case you wanted to see yourselfs.

For anyone on a budget, their worth considering.

Hope this helps anyone curious about them.

I use these aswell, nice little bits of kit for the price, I'd recommend them to anyone, if all you want is a bog standard fet.

The one on the left looks pretty nice (AB MOSFET?). Any chance you'd have a picture showing where the pos/neg wires have to be soldered?

The larger one is the AB one, small one on the left is the ordinary mosfet minus the AB function. There are wiring diagrams on the GATE website on PDF format.

I've seen the wiring diagrams on the PDF, but I can never understand them. It's easier for me too see them actually soldered on.

The smaller one is spliced into the negative cable and a single comm cable goes to a trigger contact, the two positive cables are joined at the one trigger contact then.

The AB one is pretty much the same only that you run a postive cable from tr battery to it.

Very easy to do, i'd post a pic but mine is covered with heatshrink so zero use to you I'd say.

Aye, as southern put it, Non active is on left and active is on the right, should have made that clear.
