Pololu P-MOSFET power switch
Pickup currently not available
High-side P-MOSFET power switch with a tiny onboard slide, external-switch/MCU control, and reverse-polarity protection. Clean way to gate your whole rig without routing load current through a panel switch.
Highlights
-
Control via onboard slide, external SPST, or ON pin (≈ >1 V up to 30 V).
-
True high-side switching; built-in reverse-voltage protection.
-
Breadboard & terminal-block friendly; ideal for LED strips, solenoids, motorized loads (with flyback).
