Follow up to my previous attempt at repairing a cheap DC Electronic Load. Applies to many similar models sold online:

These are the models you find on eBay, Amazon, Aliexpress, etc.
Known as the DL24, DL24A, DL150, DL150B, DTL150, ATORCH, MakerHawk or no model name at all!
Usually advertised as a DC Electronic Load or Battery Tester.
Watch to see my upgrade to a Linear MOSFET and high performance thermal paste, with simple explanations and a real world demonstration.
Parts I used:
IXTH80N20L Linear MOSFET:

Common Electronic Loads that can use this upgrade:
180W, with dual vertical fans, IRFP260, as shown in my video:

180W, Atorch DL24 or DL24P style with single horizontal fan, likely IRPF264 or Y140NS10 but I haven't taken one apart, 4 button interface, color screen:

IRFP260 (original) at DigiKey: [ Ссылка ]
IRFP260N (used in video) at Amazon: [ Ссылка ]
Some say the 'N'ew generation is not as robust as the original, even though it has higher specs.
