Re: Newbie (ignorant) tech question

Hello all,

thank you again for your responses to my questions! They have been most
helpful.

If I may indulge one more time, I need to expose my ignorance again. I am
going to go the route with the mosfets. The IRL520 does come in a TO-220
package, which would be the most compatible package with the circuit board I
have. I certainly know how to tell where the emitter, collector, and base
are on a transistor, (using the data sheets)however I am not sure how a
mosfet correlates. My guess is below:

emitter ===== drain
base ======= gate
collector===== source

Please correct me, if I am in the wrong here! I will follow up my progress
as I obtain results.

Regards,
Dan

Hello all,

I have a constant duty AC (28 VAC) motor that runs in one of my pinball
machines. I wish to control power to the motor such that it only runs
during gameplay. There are "recipe" circuits that do this for DC motors
that do the same thing, in pinball machines. The heart of this "recipe"
circuit is a TIP125 transistor. Will this transistor work in an AC
voltage circuit?, Or, is control of AC motors more complicated than I am
anticipating?

Thank you for any and all responses!

Regards,
Dan
