Posted - Mar 22 2007 : 04:48:15 AM I am trying to substitute IRF450 to switch the ground - side of an ignition coil. The gate will get its OFF command from the old contact point.Is there some more precausion to this like installing a damper diode ?Are mosfets preferrable than power transistor.No problem blowing some mosfets i got a bunch of them from discarded switching power supply.
