I'm annoyed at this point. I burned up about 50 transistors. I posted another thread about this a couple months ago and nothing worked. I tried basic transistors, I tried mosfets, logic level mosfets. They burn up even running them in the on state for a fraction of a second.
I'm working on a pinball machine which needs 48V solenoids.
I cannot get a 4.6 Ohm nor a 11 Ohm solenoid coil for a pinball machine to trigger via any transistors, while operating at 48V. I'm not an electrical guy, my background is in software. I will kindly pay someone a small fee if they can show me an actual physical working circuit.
I've tried TIP120, TIP102, IRF3205, IRL540N. I tried many resistor values which I learned previously I was using too high of resistor values and that fixed some problems. But everyone says use logic level mosfets, not working either. I tried with heatsinks and without, doesn't matter because they burn up so quickly. Can't seem to learn transistor 101 even though I've searched for hours online and had you guys try to help me before.
