MOSFET advice

Hi guys,

 

Doing some spring cleaning on my mp5 and decided to put a MOSFET in it as my other guns have them. This will be my first install of MOSFET, previously I had bought pre-installed.

 

Anyway I am pretty confident with opening up the gearbox and the wiring however would you recommend putting an inline fuse between the battery and MOSFET?

 

Both my other guns don't have a fuse and i connect the battery straight to the MOSFET connection however my mates has a section of wire from the MOSFET to the battery with a fuse inline.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

PS anyone know of somewhere I can pick up 16AWG wire in person (can't be bothered waiting for a delivery)

 

Cheers! David

The GATE Nano AAB has a built in electronic fuse which cuts off the supply of the demand is too high (e.g. a short circuit).

Therefore no need to place a fuse between the battery and MOSFET.

 

This will also marginally increase your ROF.

comes with alpha eco wire too - give them a bell and they might chuck in anything else you might need - more wire/heat-shrink/connectors or deans etc...

don't know for certain but think it won't hurt to ask...

anyway - already think they are the nutz:

Cheers for the comment. 

 

Afraid I've already got the Gate unit but will keep them in mind should I do another, especially at that price!
