MOSFET – N-Channel, 60V, 30A, TO-220
If you’ve ever wondered how to control the headlight of a car from a microcontroller, a MOSFET is what you need.
This particular part 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 device allows you to control high-power devices with very low-power control mechanisms.
Specifications:
- Drain Source Voltage: 60V
- Dran Current (Continuous @ 25°C): 32A
- Operating Temperature: -55 ~ +175°C
- Package: TO-220 – 3Pin

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?
