SparkFun COM-10213 N-Channel MOSFET 60V 30A
If you’ve ever wondered how to control the headlight of a car from a microcontroller, a MOSFET is what you need. This is a very common MOSFET with very low on-resistance and a control voltage (aka gate voltage) that is compatible with any 3-5V microcontroller or mechanical switch. This allows you to control high-power devices with very low-power control mechanisms.
Note: We stock two different models of this component, the two are nearly identical and can be used interchangeably. We’ve provided links to both datasheets below. We are currently shipping the FQP30N06L.

Richard Hulbert –
used three of these in a particle project to power an led strip
Tim –
On to my latest project used these before and they worked well working just as good with latest ideas
Christian –
Tried different mosfet but these are the best, all the time
sommereade –
Needed to switch some high currend devices with a micro controller these FET were just the job and work just fine
Roy –
Have you tried using a higher value pull down resistor say 100k?
