Thank YouThe tab or metal plate is directly connected to the drain of the mosfet. This means that if those two get in contact you will short out the supplying USB port.
I will recommend my friend to use a short cable to the USB cable switch and then use the normal cables which can be up to 15feet.Technically yes, the shiled is better to be separate from the ground, but it won´t destroy anything etc., only the noise immunity could be a bit worse. Now that I think of it, how long is the cable run from the PC to the device?
Thanks a lot.The switching current doesn´t really matter, and in fact lower is better than too high.
Hi and Thanks,No, the only thing you can damage is your PC Better use a powered hub for the testing if you can
I assume for better cooling ? Even if we are just talking about maximum 500mA at 5V ¿?tab down to a solder pad.
