Looking for a·name or # of a device that will·pass a voltage·within the duration of a single pulsout command or some other method of controlling and powering an Ignition Coil with a BS2·Stamp??·

    Try looking up a JFET·or just FET· or maybe even a 2N3055 transistor

    A basic stamp pulsout minimum is 2000 ns = 2us


    The rise fall time of a tyipcal fet IRLL110 for example to turn on and off is under 100ns so it would be in the order of 20 times faster than the basic stamps minimum pulsout command.

    You need to know the Voltage and current, DC or AC thet you want to switch to select a device.
