Upgrading your airsoft gun can significantly enhance its performance. Installing a MOSFET (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor) is one of the best ways to achieve this. It improves reliability without breaking the bank. A MOSFET enhances trigger response. It protects internal components. It also allows for advanced features like burst firing modes, built-in fuses, or ETU compatibility. Here are some budget-friendly MOSFET options available for under 10,000 yen.
XET304μ MOSFET
| Brand | XCORTECH |
| Price | ¥1,500 |
| Easy Install | No |
| Restrictions | None |
This is a cheap and very good option. It reduces wear on the electrical system and decreases heat. It improves trigger response, which can extend the life of the gun.
T238 MOSFET
| Brand | ChaosAirsoft |
| Price | ¥3,000 |
| Easy Install | No |
| Restrictions | Not DTU compatible |
This allows you to add precocking, binary trigger, and comes with an active brake function. Has a fuse port built into the circuit to save space in the gun.
It suppresses overrun, also known as unintended burst, on semi-autos prone to using high voltage batteries. Examples include 13:1 gear, DSG, and 11.1v lipo batteries.
T238 DTU MOSFET
| Brand | ChaosAirsoft |
| Price | ¥7,000 |
| Easy Install | No |
| Restrictions | None |
Improved power and pre-cocking enhance semi-auto sharpness with high-efficiency wiring for better electrical transmission. The active brake minimizes overrun for reliability.
Equipped with cost-effective physical sensors for gear and trigger detection, it prevents malfunctions and resists interference from sunlight and strong light environments.
Nano HARD
| Brand | GATE |
| Price | ¥8,000 |
| Easy Install | Yes |
| Restrictions | None |
On/Off Active Brake: The first controller allowing you to enable or disable the Active Brake anytime.
Smart Fuse: Combines current, voltage, and temperature sensors for unmatched reliability. Protects motor and battery from damage caused by jams, overheating, overload, or short-circuits.
Battery Protection: Prevents LiPo battery over-discharge, extending battery life. Supports 7.4V, 11.1V, and 14.8V batteries, with an option to disable protection for other types.
Things to Consider When Buying a Budget MOSFET
- Compatibility: Ensure the MOSFET is compatible with your airsoft gun’s wiring and battery type.
- Ease of Installation: Some MOSFETs require soldering, while others are plug-and-play.
- Features: Decide whether you need advanced features like active braking or precocking.
- Durability: Cheaper MOSFETs may not handle high-stress setups well.
Installation
Some of these require stripping a gun down and soldering wires. Airsoft stores can do this for you, but it will cost at least ¥5,000. If you want a cheaper option, order the MOSFET and installation through our Service area. Installations are much cheaper and will be fully tested afterwards.
Conclusion
Investing in a budget MOSFET is a cost-effective way to enhance your airsoft gun’s performance. Options like the Gate NanoASR and JEFFTRON Micro MOSFET are reliable choices for beginners. The Perun Basic MOSFET offers added functionality for those willing to spend a bit more. No matter your choice, these options under 10,000 yen provide significant improvements to your airsoft experience without emptying your wallet.
