An airsoft AEG MOSFET's purpose is to improve performance and protect the internal components of an electric airsoft gun by acting as an electronic switch that bypasses the trigger contacts. The benefits include a faster trigger response, increased rate of fire, and extended battery and trigger contact life. Advanced models also offer features like adjustable trigger pull, pre-cocking, and burst fire mode.
Purpose
• Electronic Switch: A MOSFET replaces the traditional mechanical trigger contacts with a more robust electronic switch, routing current directly from the battery to the motor.
• Improved Performance: This electronic bypass reduces the electrical resistance and arcing that occur with mechanical contacts, leading to more efficient power delivery to the motor.
Benefits
• Increased Rate of Fire (ROF): By providing a more direct and efficient power flow, a MOSFET can slightly increase the ROF.
• Faster Trigger Response: The electronic switch responds faster than a mechanical one, giving the gun a more "snappy" trigger response.
• Extended Battery Life: MOSFETs prevent over-discharging of LiPo batteries by cutting power before the battery voltage drops too low, which can permanently damage it.
• Enhanced Trigger Contact Durability: The high current is now handled by the MOSFET, not the fragile trigger contacts, significantly reducing carbon buildup and wear and tear.
• Enhanced Protection: They reduce the risk of electrical shorts and protect internal components from voltage spikes.
• Advanced Customization (Programmable MOSFETs):
◦ Pre-cocking: Advances the piston to the "ready" position for an even faster trigger response.
◦ Active Braking: Stops the motor immediately after the trigger is released to prevent "overspin".
◦ Rate of Fire Control: Some units can limit the full-auto rate of fire.
◦ Custom Firing Modes: Can be programmed to have burst modes or other settings.
