Protected Mosfet
A protected MOSFET contains integrated transient surge protection circuitry and is less susceptible to electrostatic discharge and other transients, as compared to standard, unprotected MOSFETs.
Examples of MOSFETS (most are protected) in RepRap electronics are:
| Electronics | MOSFET Part Number | Notes |
