{"title":"Pololu RC Switch with Small Low-Side MOSFET","handle":"pololu-rc-switch-with-small-low-side-mosfet","url":"/products/pololu-rc-switch-with-small-low-side-mosfet","description":"The Pololu RC Switch with Small Low-Side MOSFET converts standard hobby RC receiver outputs into simple on/off signals. It measures incoming RC pulse widths against a configurable threshold to control an integrated MOSFET, allowing you to drive small loads like LEDs, relays, or motors directly from your RC system.\n\nA built-in flyback diode across the load outputs means you can connect inductive loads (motors, relays) without additional external components. The switch also features a learning mode for adjusting the threshold and activation direction, plus a safe-start feature to prevent unexpected activation.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nLow-Side MOSFET – Delivers up to 3 A at 5 V, handles load voltages up to 30 V\n\nConfigurable Threshold – Default ~1700 µs with ±64 µs hysteresis, adjustable via learning mode\n\nTwo Status Outputs – GOOD pin indicates valid RC signal (10–330 Hz, 0.5–2.5 ms), OUT pin indicates MOSFET state\n\nYellow Status LED – Visual feedback of switch state\n\nFlyback Diode – Integrated protection for inductive loads\n\nSafe-Start – Reduces likelihood of unexpected activation on power-up\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nSupply Voltage (VCC) – 2.5–5.5 V\n\nMOSFET Current – Up to ~3 A (at 5 V VCC)\n\nLoad Voltage – Up to 30 V\n\nDimensions – 0.4″ × 0.6″\n\nWeight – ~0.5 g (without header pins)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nControlling LEDs, relays, or small motors from RC systems\nConverting RC receiver outputs to digital signals for microcontrollers\nSimple RC-activated switching applications\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Pololu RC Switch with Small Low-Side MOSFET\n1× 12-pin 0.1″ straight breakaway male header\n\n\nResources\n\nUser's Guide\n","vendor":"Pololu","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9133,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PL-2802","price":9.55,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
