## Description

The Adafruit STEMMA MOSFET Driver makes it safe and simple to control motors, solenoids, high-power LEDs, and other current-hungry loads from any microcontroller. Instead of wiring up a transistor and flyback diode on a breadboard, this compact board has everything built in — just connect power, signal, and your load. At the heart of the board is an AO3406 N-Channel MOSFET rated for 30 V, 3.6 A peak, with a low 70 mΩ on-resistance, paired with a 1N4007 flyback diode for inductive load protection. The STEMMA JST PH input connector provides solderless hookup, and the logic input accepts 3–20 V signal levels. Key Features AO3406 N-Channel MOSFET – 30 V drain-source, 3.6 A peak, 70 mΩ RdsOn Built-In Flyback Diode – 1N4007 protects against inductive kickback from motors and solenoids Wide Power Range – 3–30 V load voltage Wide Logic Range – 3–20 V signal input (works with 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers) STEMMA JST PH Connector – Solderless 2-pin input for signal and ground Screw Terminal Outputs – Two terminal blocks for power in and switched load out Breakout Header – Optional 0.1" header pads for breadboard use Continuous Current – Up to 1.5 A continuous, 3 A peak Note: The JST PH connector is rated for 2 A continuous. For loads exceeding 2 A, use the screw terminals and breakout header instead. Ideal For Driving DC motors, fans, and solenoids from microcontrollers Switching high-power LEDs and single-colour LED strips Beginner-friendly projects that need safe high-current switching Replacing breadboard transistor + diode circuits Package Contents 1× Adafruit STEMMA MOSFET Driver (assembled) Resources Transistor Driver Tutorial AO3406 MOSFET Datasheet (PDF)
