MOSFET FAQ
  1. A MOSFET will remove the current that normally has to travel through your trigger switch to your motor to power your AEG. Trigger switches have a higher resistance that you might think. That means reducing the amount of power going to your motor. Think of it this way, can you get all the performance out of your car by removing 2 of the cylinders? Nope. The power is there to be had, but you’re just not using it all. The MOSFET redirects the power so when you pull the trigger, the power goes from the battery through the MOSFET and to your motor. There is almost 0 resistance, therefore almost every drop of power reaches your motor!  You'll also reap the rewards of longer trigger life due to less charring (carbon build up) and corroding of the trigger contacts!
  2. Active braking is a method of stopping your motor from over spinning due to inertia. When you release the trigger normally it takes a moment for the inertia of the motor to subside and the motor to come to a stop. This means added wear and tear on your motor, brushes, pinion gear, anti-reverse latch, and the rest of the gear assembly. Active Braking halts the motor almost instantly after you release the trigger. This reduces wear, saving the life of the pinion gear and spring, while helping to not overspin the gears in semi-auto.
  3. MOSFETS with Active Braking will prolong the life of your AEG. You’ll have less wear and tear on your trigger switch (I’ve seen some fail without this system), and your gearbox will thank you. In addition you’ll get better trigger response. Have you ever seen a target and fired a shot at it, but they had just a slightly faster trigger response and hit you first? Put an end to that. You can also expect to see an increase in your ROF (rate of fire).
  4. Infected Armory's MOSFET Systems have been tested with up to an 11.1v lithium polymer (lipoly,lipo) battery, and will work fine with a 12 volt NiMH or NiCad battery.  Of course, don't feel that you need to drive it that hard to see a benefit.  Even using an 8.4v NiMH battery will show off the benefits of a MOSFET with Braking.
  5. Installation is straight forward for most gearboxes.  Each unit comes with instructions for installation, and for those who are comfortable with soldering and working inside a gearbox, installation should be fairly easy.
  6. All you need to install a MOSFET is some wire cutter, a soldering iron, and some heat shrink tubing.  Of course you'll also need whatever tools are required to pull your gearbox out of your AEG/AEP.
  7. But of course you can use a Lipoly battery with the Infected Armory MOSFET!
  8. We do ship internationally to most countries.  If you place and order and we are unable to ship to via our primary carrier you we will send an email out as quickly as possible to arrange a refund or alternative shipping means.
  9. Most orders are built, tested, and shipped from our location within 1 business day of your order.  Larger orders may take 1 additional business day to fill.  Shipping time within the USA is 3-5 business days.  International shipping times vary but are often 6-14 business days.
  10. Units shipped and installed within the USA include a 15 day limited warranty that begins on the date you receive your MOSFET.  This warranty is limited to defects in materials or workmanship of the MOSFET itself, and only covers the repair/replacement of the MOSFET itself and does not cover or warrant any other part.  Validity of the warranty is at the discretion of Infected Airsoft.  Any attempt to disassemble or improper installation of the MOSFET will void the warranty unless directed to by an Infected Airsoft technician.  Any warranty issues should be handled directly with Infected Armory through our Contact page.  Unfortunately at this time we are unable to warranty any MOSFET purchases from outside the USA, but we are available to help troubleshoot any problems that might arise.  Since we test 100% of the units we ship on an actual gearbox, our failure rate is extremely low.
  11. Infected Armory's MOSFETs are able to handle up to 195A of current while carrying the juice of an 11.1v battery.  Each and every unit is tested on an actual gearbox to be certain that you will receive a fully functional unit.  We insist on using high quality components, but bring you the best prices around.  We also have hundreds of satisfied orders!
  12. To obtain 3 round burst or semi-auto programmability you need a "microcontroller" in addition to a MOSFET.  While we have not ruled out building such units, we are focused currently on providing the smallest and most reliable MOSFET circuits with Active Braking possible at the best price possible.  There are other companies out there that provide quality microcontrolled units, but they increase greatly in size and cost.
