The PicoAAB is the smallest MOSFET with an active braking on the market that is meant for electric airsoft guns. This unit is a new version of its predecessor PicoAB that has been updated with an electronic fuse known for the third generation GATE controllers. In addition, its mechanical and electronic features are significantly more advanced than in the previous Pico models. It can be installed into most electric airsoft guns, including the most powerful (M170) DMR rifles.
The PicoAAB continues the GATE third generation product family. Thanks to the new components the manufacturing mistakes from the previous MOSFETs have been removed. The durability of the MOSFET has been improved and it should withstand even the 14.8V LiPo/Li-Ion batteries! Additionally, the unit includes an over temperature protection that prevents the unit from overheating and short circuiting and thus protects the MOSFET itself, the motor and the battery from malfunctions! The PicoAAB is compatible also with systems that use a microswitch!
The package includes:
The unit reduces power loss due to normal mechanical contact in the trigger switch. When using MOSFET only the signal current flows through the trigger switch and the actual running current goes directly from the battery to the motor. This prevents the burning of the trigger contacts, which is going to happen sooner or later, especially when using powerful batteries – the average lifetime for contact surfaces in an actively used gun is around one year. At the same time, the MOSFET unit enables the maximum power flow in the circuit without unnecessary resistance due to worn trigger contacts. This also gives you a higher rate of fire and a faster trigger response.
More information on MOSFETs: Check out the MOSFET article in Tradetech to find out about the benefits etc. of the mysterious MOSFETs.
The use of modern transistors and microprocessors has enabled the manufacture of small and reliable MOSFET units with microswitch compatibility.
Microswitch compatibility (digital signal processing)
With digital signal processing the MOSFET can filter out the vibrations of the microswitch during firing, which might cause excessive sparks and wear in the switch, lower rate of fire as well as heating of the motor, MOSFET, wires and battery, like with traditional MOSFETs. Since the MOSFET filters out the extra signal oscillation, there are no disadvantages of the vibrations created.
In operation, the motor and the gears accumulate kinetic energy (energy from motion). The magnitude of the energy is mainly determined by the speed of the mechanical parts. The maximum speed is reached approximately after the fourth shot. For this reason, the motor doesn’t stop immediately after releasing the trigger, but continues to rotate for a moment. This is due to the accumulated kinetic energy; the more there is, the longer the motor keeps running “extra”. The active brake is a feature, which stops the running parts with the motor immediately after releasing the trigger.
1) No more double shots or double feeding. The gearbox performs only one full cycle with semi-auto. The piston always stays in the front position, which extends the lifespan of your gearbox.
2) Realism – You get the exact amount of shots with every pull of the trigger as you meant. The advantage can especially be experienced with semi-auto builds.
You will find more information about how the active brake works by checking out our Tradetech MOSFET article.
Over temperature protection protects the MOSFET unit, gearbox and the whole gun from electronic issues. The over temperature protection cuts the power going through the unit when it gets too hot.
When problems occur, it activates immediately when you pull the trigger. With the second trigger pull the system evaluates if it’s safe to continue or if it should shut down to prevent further damage. The feature protects the unit also from short circuiting, but it might not have time to activate before the transistors in the unit get too hot. That is why you should use a separate fuse with this unit. The warranty will not cover a fuseless unit.
The transparent protective coating protects the MOSFET unit from splashes, debris and minor damages.
GATE Electronics is a Polish company which made its debut on the airsoft market in 2008. Their goal is to provide high-tech electronics for airsoft players worldwide. GATE’s product range consists of MOSFET circuits for all kinds of uses, whether you want a MOSFET which only works as a MOSFET or a MOSFET circuit where almost everything is programmable. The GATE products are easy to install and reliable in use. The products are thoroughly tested and the company listens closely to feedback from end users to uphold the quality of their products.
GATE MOSFETs have an extended 24-month warranty. It covers manufacturing defects and problems that come up in normal use. The warranty does not cover any fault that is caused by a faulty installation or misuse, like one caused by too high a voltage. You have to use a separate fuse, which protects the MOSFET from short circuits especially with more powerful LiPo batteries, when using NanoASR, -AAB and PicoAAB MOSFETs or SSR series MOSFETs which do not have an electronic fuse. The use of a separate fuse in other MOSFETs is recommended. You will find installation instructions on GATE's website or in Tradetech.

All of our products are covered with a warranty of at least one month. The warranty period of each product is stated on the order receipt. The warranty covers normal use of the product and is void if the product is modified or disassembled. In addition, using an unmodified stock gun with a battery exceeding the nominal voltage or nominal capacity stated in the product description, also voids the warranty.
The warranty does not cover products like airsoft guns that have broken after being used in cold or damp climate. The products have originally been designed for warm climates and we cannot therefore guarantee that they function normally in sub-zero temperatures or in otherwise exceptional surroundings.
Remember that the product packaging and all contents including the order receipt are part of the product and needed for warranty processing. If you have lost your order receipt, you can easily print a new one in your account order history, or contact us with your customer details. If something is missing from the product or the product is not in good condition, we may have to compensate for the defect by lowering the total refund value.
If you think your product is broken always contact us before returning the product. Do not disassemble or try to repair the product yourself, as this may void the warranty. If there is not any defect in a product that has been returned to us for warranty processing, we may have to charge a warranty inspection fee and shipping costs.
New products are also covered by the six-month defect liability if the product lacks conformity. This means that if the product was defective at the time of the purchase we will repair or exchange the product within six months. This does not apply to products that have been disassembled, tuned or otherwise modified. In addition, products that have been misused or physically damaged are not covered by this guarantee.
All products must be returned in original condition, including product packaging and other accessories provided with the package. Pack the products carefully in the return parcel, so that they arrive in good condition. Only products that have not been used can be returned. However, you may try on for example clothes to make sure they fit.
NB! Products or services made to order to customers needs, like wires sold by the meter or Deans connector installation to battery, cannot be returned.
Remember to include the order receipt or order return form in the parcel. Mark the products you want to return and a short description of what you would like in exchange (different size, other product, refund). If you have lost the order receipt you can print a new one by logging in to your account on our website, or by printing out the order return form from the email you received with the title “Your order has been shipped”.
If you forget to include your contact information in the return package, contact us by email at info@tradesoft.fi. This helps us to identify your package and process the return as quickly as possible.
Always contact us by email at info@tradesoft.fi before returning a product.
All domestic orders can be returned for free within a month from receiving the package. Note that products must be returned with the same shipping company that you have chosen when placing your order. Matkahuolto Near parcels must also be returned from the same pickup point where you originally collected the order. Remember to always use our customer return number when sending the package – this way we will cover the shipping costs.
