yes they did. the ASCU has a micro switch to replace the standard mechanical switch assembly. eliminates the arcing that occurs from high voltage on low quality contacts.

other mosfets reduce the voltage going to the switch assembly which greatly reduces the arcing that happens but you still use the same switch assembly.
