Solenoid driver board, controlling multiple IRF640 MOSFET's

Yupp, it’s definitely the saturation thing.

I tried using a 9-volt battery to trigger the MOSFET instead of Arduino’s output pins and it triggers instantaneously.

So -

I got +5VDC at 40mA to trigger the MOSFET’s with.

Does anyone have any recommendations what kind of MOSFET I could use?

Or should I perhaps provide an additional Arduino low level driven MOSFET circuit that carry the current needed to trigger the +48VDC MOSFETs?

EDIT:

I tried making another version of the board without any LED’s, and it carried a more instant reaction as well.

I figure the LED’s steal a lot of the current…?

How can I create a version of the board including control LED’s. I’m not really wanting to put a LED in the +48VDC chain… :confused:
