FET's are Field Effect Transistors
MOSFETS are Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistors.

Fets and Mosfets are transistors but they have "extra sensitive" base 
pins ( gate??? )
they are primarily used in lower voltage items ( radios, switches (( 
touch/tap lite controllers)) etc.)
mosfets are more sensitive to static discharge damage.

MMC ...  this is a Multi- Mini - Capacitor.  

instead of spending 200 $ on a single hivolt cap you end up spending 200 
$ on a bunch of smaller hivolt caps to equal the same single hivolt cap 
rating  :)~~    altho a good thing about this setup is that by banking 
them in sets you can have a " variable" cap, where with a single cap 
thats all you get.
