N-Cha MOSFET Transistors FQP30N06
N-Channel MOSFET Transistor – FQP30N06
Overview:
The FQP30N06 is a high-performance N-Channel MOSFET designed for fast switching and high-efficiency power control applications. With its low on-resistance and high current capability, it's perfect for driving motors, controlling relays, switching LED strips, and handling medium-to-high power loads in Arduino and other microcontroller-based projects.
Key Features:
N-Channel enhancement-mode MOSFET
Low gate threshold voltage – logic-level compatible (TTL/CMOS)
High-speed switching and low gate drive requirement
Continuous Drain Current up to 32A
Low R<sub>DS(on)</sub> of 0.035Ω at V<sub>GS</sub> = 10V
TO-220 package – easy to mount with heatsinks

Pinout (TO-220 Package):
| Pin Number | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Gate | Controls switching |
| 2 | Drain | Load connection |
| 3 | Source | Connects to ground |
Wiring with Arduino Uno (Basic Example):
| Arduino Uno | FQP30N06 |
|---|---|
| Digital Pin (e.g., D6) | Gate |
| GND | Source |
| Load (Motor/LED/etc.) → +V | Drain |
💡 Note: Use a resistor (e.g., 220Ω–330Ω) between Arduino and Gate to limit current. Add a flyback diode if switching inductive loads like motors or relays.
Sample Code (Arduino):
CopyEditint mosfetPin = 6; // Connect to Gate void setup() { pinMode(mosfetPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(mosfetPin, HIGH); // Turn ON load delay(1000); digitalWrite(mosfetPin, LOW); // Turn OFF load delay(1000); }
Applications:
Motor drivers and relay control
High-power LED lighting control
PWM-based speed or brightness control
Power supply switching and load regulation
General power electronics projects
