Size of a Mosfet...

Ere - them mosfets are pretty big huh

so how come a dna chip can do the same thing - reduce the amps to the switches - and be not much bigger including all the other stuff they do?

i mean aren't there tiny little chippy mosfets out there?

The mosfet used by most modders is a little more than 1/4 the size of a postage stamp not counting the metal pins.

actually it's just occured to me - is the biggest lump on a dna board - a mosfet! ?

I think that's the microprocessor.

I think that's the microprocessor.

Has 6R8 on it - 6R8 0.125W SMT (chip) resistor - Chip Resistors - Resistors - Active Components Ltd

dunno what that does

Looking at it I woulda thought the microprocessor is on top next to the onboard button?

we need an anotomy of a dna board diagram

There are small surface mount mosfets available. There should be some on the DNA board.

The largest component on the DNA boards is an inductor.
