Bosch glue pen teardown
https://www.electronics-lab.com/bosch-glue-pen-teardown/
electrobob @ electrobob.com tipped us with his latest teardown of a battery powered Bosch glue pen. He writes: On the right side we can see the fuse and a IRF3711Z 6mΩ 20V HEXFET driving the heating element. At the glue melting end there is no temperature sensor, they are probably relying on the positive thermal […]
FPV drone teardown
