IRF520 MOSFET Driver Module – DC 0–24V PWM Switching Board

The IRF520 MOSFET Driver Module is a compact electronic switching board designed to control DC loads using a microcontroller or digital control signal.

Featuring an IRF520 N-Channel MOSFET, screw terminals, and an onboard LED indicator, the module can be used for switching DC motors, LED strips, solenoids, and other DC devices.

It supports PWM control for applications such as motor speed adjustment and LED brightness control when driven with a suitable gate signal.

Important Notes

• The IRF520 is not a logic-level MOSFET.
• Although the module is commonly advertised for 3.3V and 5V control signals, these voltages do not guarantee full MOSFET switching.
• Direct control from ESP32, ESP8266, or Raspberry Pi GPIO is not recommended for high-current loads.
• A 5V Arduino signal may work with small loads but may not fully turn on the MOSFET.
• For reliable high-current switching, use a suitable MOSFET gate driver or a logic-level MOSFET module.
• The advertised 5A rating should not be treated as a guaranteed continuous operating current. Actual capacity depends on gate drive, cooling, and load conditions.
• Use a flyback diode or appropriate protection circuit when switching inductive loads such as motors and solenoids.
• Designed for DC loads only.
