Help in selecting MOSFET for Project needs

[APDahlen]

Thank you @Steven_14444,

An alternative for @Apex4446 is to use a Darlington. They are a bit easier to drive directly from a microcontroller. Also, it is possible to place devices in parallel for even more current provided a small emitter resistor is used.

Driving a Large Relay From a 3.3 VDC Microcontroller Using an NPN Darlington Transistor

Interfacing a microcontroller to a high-power load presents a design challenge. This is especially true for 3.3 VDC microcontrollers such as the Arduino Nano 33 IoT featured in this article and shown in Figure 1. As a rule, these new high-performance 32-bit microcontrollers don’t have the strength of their 5 VDC counterparts. For example, the Nano 33 IoT is limited to a 7 mA per pin whereas the Arduino Nano Every can supply 15 mA per pin. This reduced current, compounded by the lower voltage, re…
