MOSFET is too small for the job

I'm by no means an expert in the field of electronics, so take my findings here with a grain of salt.Using a 9VAC/1000ma adapter (see photo), I found this module to output an identical voltage (~4.86VDC) to a half wave rectifier as assembled on a breadboard. Note: This particular 9VAC supply puts out closer to 11VAC, unsure if this is typical of AC/AC adapters.For a DC input test, I connected my bench supply's leads to the board's input, and set the supply to output 9.00V. From here, I measured the board's output voltage to be 8.94V. I also tested the input coming from the bench supply here with a DMM, which showed 8.99V being delivered from the supply. This appears to corroborate the listed minimum voltage drop in the 50mv region, though I have yet to test under load conditions, and at voltages outside of 9V.I'll continue playing around with these and report back with any interesting findings.

These modules are essentially an "active rectifier" using a MOSFET and a little IC that controls it, allowing current flow in one direction only.It's a neat trick, but not a drop-in replacement for a rectifier diode, since it needs a ground reference in addition to the usual "anode" and "cathode" terminals. The feasibility of this will vary with the application.It does, however, do what it says on the tin.
