I've been looking to use MOSFETs as switches, but from what I've read, searching and in this forum I'm not sure how to.
Basicaly, what I understood is that the connection is like a normal transistor one. However, from what I read, the voltage across the FET will be less than the one at the gate, lets say I send 5v I would get an output of maybe 4v, is that correct? I'm not concidering the current.
Because what I want is to turn it full on or off with a 5v-0v digital signal (to switch 12v or 24v).
By the way, I've got two types available: IRF630 and IRF9530. Just in case that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help.
