MOSFET/Solid state relay connection to drive high current solenoid.

Hi CEngz,
Facing a new challenge in making "Electronic Fuel Injection System". Using a PWM circuit, we generate a square wave form signal (5V peak to peak). This output signal is fed to MOSFET/Solid State Relays (for switching ON/OFF) to drive a solenoid operating at high current (20A) & High voltage (24V) from 2 car batteries connected in series. The ON/OFF takes place @ the rate on 25 times per second. Can anyone suggest a part/item or a complete circuit diagram along with the connections for the above requirement. The PWM circuit can be seen at "https://www.dprg.org/tutorials/2005-11a/index.html"
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You.

    Hello,

    as per your schematic & question you are taking 5V supply, increase it upto 9V (not more than 15V b'coz mosfet at gate voltage of 15V will burn out), you are taking o/p from 7 pin then feed this to gate of mosfet ( take IRF 3205) #-Link-Snipped-#
    try this this may help......
    try with common source..

    Hey Cean,

    use SCR instead which has higher power current capacities............

    Hello,

    SCR are the old tech. using MOSFET is fine, after mosfet. it comes IGBT ( insulated gate bipolar transistor) its currrent capabilities is more than 400amps....................
