This will give you the pin outs sorry about the long link http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.filereader?4316de39096b661a2740c0a87f9c06e6+EN/catalogs/SUP0001850 ...
WOW! Thanks everyone. Hopefully today I can spend an hour or so going over each of the suggestions trying to learn the differences between them. At least...
I am putting together parts for an EDM and one of the most expensive parts are power resistors. I am hoping there is a way to use a transistor or some such to...
I've been using a RFP50N06, an N-Channel power mosfet for several of my solenoid related projects. It will handle up to 50 amps, purely overkill for your app...

Cool application, thanks Dan. It sure seems as though the Mosfets can replace Relays in many different applications. Perhaps I shoudl study them buggers a ...
I assume what you want is a constant current source. You can build one by having a moderate emitter resistor and a fixed base voltage. The base will have a...

Thinking a little more about this, the use is to charge a cap, then once a voltage is reached, the cap will discharge into the work. Durng the dischare of the...
I spent a little time looking over some of the datasheets for mosfets. There is a pretty wide range of voltages and amps they can handle. It makes me wonder,...

I wasn't sure what a EDM power supply was, Electrostatic Discharge Machining. You gotta love Google! I read one or two articles on it, and just threw a .pdf...

One idea is to eleminate the capacitor altogether. If you can fire the mosfet and pulse it, you should be able to deliver a spark to the work in the same way...
