15A 400W MOSFET Driver 5-36V DC

This MOSFET driver module switches larger loads via an Arduino or Raspberry Pi, for example DC loads up to 36 V such as LEDs, motors, pumps, fans or solenoid valves. The module carries two AOD4184 MOSFETs (marking D4184, Q1 and Q2). With PWM, LEDs can be dimmed or the speed of DC motors changed. A red LED shows the switching state.

Note: The AOD4184A datasheet specifies the on-resistance at 4.5 V and 10 V on the gate. With 3.3 V logic the MOSFET switches on less fully, 5 V logic is better for high currents. For inductive loads such as motors, pumps and solenoid valves, provide a freewheeling diode, none is visible on the module. At high currents the MOSFETs and traces get warm.
