Several other parts and supplies are needed for installation of a MOSFET:
| 10k - 30k ohm resistor (1) | | 100 ohm resistor (1) | | 20 gauge braided wire for extending stock wiring* | | 24 gauge or smaller gauge braided wire to act as "gate" wire* | | heat shrink wrap* | | small PC board* | | solder and soldering iron | | wire strippers | | multimeter* |
*braided wires are recommended for their increased flexibility.
*the gate wire should be kept to a small gauge so as to fit in the limited wiring paths of the mechbox. Since little current flows through the gate, smaller gauge wire is not a hinderance to mechbox performance.
*heatshrink in sizes for the wires chosen are recommended to properly insulate junctions.
*a small PC board is recommended for mounting of electrical components.
*a multimeter is recommended for troubleshooting in case of problems.
