IRF520 MOSFET Driver Module for Arduino

This is a breakout board IRF520 MOSFET, designed to switch heavy DC loads from a single digital pin of the microcontroller. Its main purpose is to provide a low cost way to drive a DC motor for robotics application, but the module can be used to control most high current DC loads. 

This module can be used just like a relay card in the projects. Screw terminals are provided to interface to your load and external power source. An LED indicator provides a visual indication of when your load is being switched. 

Features

• N-channel power MOSFET
• Can be used as a relay card
• Can drive heavy DC loads
• It is commonly used with Arduino, due to its low threshold voltage

Specification

• Input voltage: 3.3V, 5V
• Port: output load voltage: 0-24V
• Continuous drain current: 9.2A
• Output load current: <5A (1A above needs to add heat sink)
• Drain to source breakdown voltage: 100V
• Max gate threshold voltage: 4V 
• Drain source resistance: 0.27 ohm

Application

• Switching high power devices
• Control speed of motors
• LED dimmers and flashers
• High speed switching application
• Converters and inverters circuit
