Sorry but I'm not reading in between your lines. You'll have to excuse me for being bone-headed. What exactly are you referring to?

The reason I ask is because Gate is one of those companies who actually listen to retailers. If I asked them to investigate something, they will do it.

I'm not an Electrical Engineer (I am an Engineer but in a different field...) and so I look towards customers like you to tell me what can be improved upon.

So please tell me - what happened with your experience of the PicoSSR?

Terry, whose Extreme-fire mosfets are the benchmark of mosfets for airsoft, has commented on the PicoSSR before on ASM. He didn't seem concerned at all.

I think they are using this FET:

Good power and current and very low Vgs(on)! They have light TVSs too that should do well.

For a light to moderate powered AEG I think they will be fine. The very close big wires make nice heatsinks too!

They make a lot of AEG FETS and they know what they are doing. I would not worry. If You have some 18.1V 60 RPS 700FPS monster gun you will probably bust them, but they should drop into 98% of the AEGS out there just fine!


With units like this just keep the battery well charged. If the gun does not fire or something goes wrong, get your finger off the trigger ASAP! If you remember to do those two rules, you will not bust these FETs.

With a low battery voltage, the FET will lose gate drive voltage and will become resistive and turn into a space heater. If say your motor is jammed and you hold the trigger down for a few minutes hoping it will get better... It will just get far worse... But if you avoid those two perils, even little units like this do very well!!
