**IMPORTANT: I have seen people trying to (re-)sell these mosfet units with a HUGE profit on EBAY while referring to this page for installationschematics, go shop around, they don't need to be more expensive than around €5 to €10 ($5 to $10) incl PP.** | **IMPORTANT: I have seen people trying to (re-)sell these Mosfet units with a HUGE profit on EBAY while referring to this page for installation schematics, go shop around, they don't need to be more expensive than around €5 to €10 ($5 to $10) incl PP.** |

The idea is pretty simple: The high current of the hotbed brings multiple problems to your mainboard. | The idea is pretty simple: The high current of the hotbed brings multiple problems to your mainboard. |

some people claim polarity matters , for clarification i have taken a picture showing for the mosfet unit in the pictures here **POLARITY DOES NOT MATTER**. | some people claim polarity matters **they are right sometimes** some mosfets are polarity sensitive. |
| |
| For the mosfet unit shown in the 2 pictures here, **POLARITY DOES NOT MATTER**, check them side by side with the signal wire connected both ways. |
| |
Check the 2 pictures side by side with the signal wire connected both ways. | In both pictures the hotbed was set to preheat PLA, both led blue (D2) and Red (D1) light up and everything functions as it should. |
