SparkFun MOSFET Power Controller, 30V 6.5A, with JST Connector
Easily switch battery power using a microcontroller with this efficient MOSFET controller. Ideal for high-current projects and e-textiles.
The SparkFun MOSFET Power Controller is a versatile and efficient board designed to enable seamless switching of a battery supply using a microcontroller. Its straightforward setup involves connecting a battery, attaching the device that requires power to the output, and linking a microcontroller's digital output to the input pads. Once the microcontroller pin is set to HIGH, the battery connection activates, providing power to your device.
This controller is ideal for projects requiring the management of high-current loads, ensuring reliable performance for applications that demand significant power. It features an N-Channel MOSFET rated for a maximum of 30V and 6.5A, though it is optimised for use at lower power levels for enhanced safety and longevity. The included JST connector simplifies battery attachment, while sewable pads make it suitable for e-textile projects, and standard 0.1″ headers ensure compatibility with a wide range of prototyping setups.
