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 microcontroller, three separate pins are provided for VCC, GND and IO. It can be used to control upto 24v with 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.
