Not a video. Tonight's random project.
Added 2019-10-29 05:28:33 +0000 UTCWhile tonight's video was uploading to YouTube I got the urge to try out one of a strip of 100 A2SHB MOSFETs.
Can you guess what it is? (Some of you might recognise it as the surface mount version of another hard-wired project.)

Good old BC! A project where one of the components has "caution" on it in big scary letters!
2019-10-29 16:52:35 +0000 UTCI love the simplicity of that circuit!

2019-10-29 14:23:14 +0000 UTCI can see why they are in so many Chinese products. Cheap, easy to drive and beefy little things.

2019-10-29 13:42:01 +0000 UTCYes it does. The solar panel effectively holds the MOSFET off when there's light.

2019-10-29 13:41:25 +0000 UTCDat does look like the garden light I'm using for more than 3 months, now. Thanks, clive!

2019-10-29 09:46:56 +0000 UTCTough little MOSFETs those, I use them in some of my builds and very cheap as well!

2019-10-29 08:39:51 +0000 UTCDoes the MOSFET detect when the solar panel is not sending power and switch the output?

2019-10-29 06:22:26 +0000 UTCSolar charged li-ion battery forma light. The MOSFET is cutting current flow to the battery when the voltage reaches a certain point (presumably 4.2v) as controlled by the voltage divider at the gate.

2019-10-29 06:18:53 +0000 UTCA solar charged Li-ion battery. The MOSFET and megohm resistor are being used to shut off current to the battery when it reaches the right voltage.

2019-10-29 06:16:42 +0000 UTCLooks like a very simplistic li-ion charger and dusk sensor

2019-10-29 06:10:28 +0000 UTCDefinitely a solar panel / charger

2019-10-29 06:08:20 +0000 UTCDiy solarpanel it is! Now with a mosfet in stead of a npn or pnp transistor 🤩

2019-10-29 05:43:49 +0000 UTCThat looks very much like your DIY solar panel
