Gikfun RFP30N06LE TO-220 Mosfet Power Control DIY Kit (Pack of 5pcs) for Arduino EK5001_Dx5

Works well and decent price for the kit. Documentation is available online, just hard to find an EAGLE schematic for this particular MOSFET.

No instructions, so you have to go off the pictures, first one I built didn't work at all, second one worked but not well. Tested both circuits in terms of connectivity, so it had to be bad MOSFETs. Built my own out of some components I had around from a few years ago, mine worked like a champ.

Works great as intended. Just wish the price was a bit less.

What can I say, I assembled them and they worked like a champ but many people might have problems with the assembly and wiring information, there is none. I really wish Gikfun (and others) would up their game a little bit and make a standout product. We don't need cool and trendy packaging but maybe a little pointer to a web page showing assembly and wiring would be nice.

Simple enough device, but before you purchase it, make sure you can find documentation online. I found what seems to be a similar product online at Sparkfun, and use their schematic for reference. Good price, but documentation is quite thin, if it exists at all.

Worked well for several projects I’ve been working on, I will order again can’t beat the price.

Don't believe the "compatible with any 3-5V microcontroller" above... this does not work with a 3.3v input. Even with a constant 3.3v connection, none of the 5 MOSFETs would work until I added another device (transistor) to feed them 5v.

Hard to wire up. Here are the instructions copied from sparkfun: System “C” = Gate, connect to microcontroller I/O “-” = Source, for reference connect microcontroller’s GND and the power source’s GND “+” = Vcc, connect to the “+” terminal of your power source Device “-” = Drain, connect this to “R”, “G”, or “B” cathode (-) of the 12V LED strip “+” = 12V, connect to “12V” pin of the 12V LED Strip
