The IRF520 MOSFET Driver Module is mainly designed as a replacement for Relays and can be used with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and various other microcontroller boards as well. It is designed in such a way that it can be used to switch heavy DC loads from a single digital pin of microcontroller units.
This Board uses IRF520 MOSFET as the controlled device. For easy hook-up to the microcontroller, three separate pins are provided for VCC, GND, and IO. It can be used to control up to 24v with a 5A DC load. Make sure to use an additional heatsink with the MOSFET. It also has Screw terminals to easily connect the high loads that use a bigger diameter of wires. An LED indicator provides a visual indication of when your load is being switched.
