Over on YouTube [DENKI OTAKU] runs us through how a 4-pin MOSFET works and what the extra Kelvin source pin does. A typical MOSFET might come in a 3-pin TO-247 package, but there are 4-pin variants ...

Measuring the actual collector-emitter breakdown voltage is practically impossible without destroying the device. Therefore, BVCES is the collector-emitter voltage at which no more than the specified ...

“Good, fast, cheap: choose two.” That engineering maxim is almost as prevalent as “if you can’t fix it, feature it.” That’s why I’m quite happy to have an idea that might achieve all three of those ...
