    will this work? (heating element, parallel mosfets)

    Followed the first bit ok.. but the last paragraph went somewhat over my head I must confess. There will be multiple on off events for sure, if there's a problem it could be catastrophic given the load I'm considering. The avalanche is where the mech switch becomes redundant and current...

    will this work? (heating element, parallel mosfets)

    I'll sure give it a go, thanks FvM. I was really hoping the P to N change was as simple as that but I had no clue if the resistor or capacitors value would need to change, following a diagram is about where my skill ends unfortunately. I'll not hold it against anyone if they drew it out for me ;)

    will this work? (heating element, parallel mosfets)

    Can I ask if someone could show me this circuit diagram with N channel mosfet instead of P please. I'm not skilled enough to design it myself :/ Ive had a thought that If I do not use the monitoring device I was planning I could use an N channel switch and monitor the thermal output externally...

    Thanks for your help! Owe you one :) (I'd also like to apologise for the warning I received, I couldn't see another way to attach an image using mobile version. Sorry.)

    the impedance of the conductor has temperate depedent

    I dont really know what your end result is, but if you can dissipate energy as heat then Nickle coils gain good resistance as they get warmer. I might have the resistance temp coefficient somewhere if that's a solution you can use?

    will this work? (heating element, parallel mosfets)

    The battery spec on the diagram is outdated, sorry, my bad. It'll be powered by a 7.8v 2S lipo silicone-graphene 46wh battery first off, allowing provision for a more powerful cell later on. The circuit is only live for a few seconds at a time every few seconds, so the overall battery life will...

    will this work? (heating element, parallel mosfets)

    Hi there. I intend to use a 7.8v 46wh lipo battery to power a 0.12ohm heating element, I can only use p channel mosfets as the switch because of a digital read out I plan to add will act to complete an N channel circuit. I've been given a circuit to work to but to be honest I know very little...
