I too have the same problem. Discoverd it last night after buying 100 mosfets. I purchased the rfd14n05l fet not awre that the pinout on the fet is different to the board.
I now have 48 boards with that are usless without modification. Frustrated.
Brett,
Where did you get the PN to order? I am trying to track down what is going on here as these are the ones I am going to be stocking in my online store.

The original MOSFET used was a STF20NF06 and here is the datasheet. The original MOSFET was plastic tab isolated.
an optional part is the Mouser, RFD14N05L, as part # 512-RFP14N05L and here is the Datasheet

Even though the part in the Wiki is RFDxxx and the link RFPxxx, they should interchange for most purposes as the pinouts are the same (G-D-S). The RFDxxx is in a smaller TO-251 case where the RFPxxx is a TO-220 case.
None of these parts is going to work without modifications on the board pictured in daytimer's post.
Does anyone know if the new layout for this board was finalized?
Have tried contacting wjohn several times but he must be busy.
Just need to know if they have been put into production and if the parts list from the wiki will still be the same.
