Why is your schematic as big as, no bigger than my entire neighbourhood?
I cropped it to make it a little smaller.
You had your transistor connected to +12V but not connected to the Mosfet.
I corrected it.
You can use a tiny little surface-mount transistior if you can handle it.
I would not use the tiny little surface-mount power resistor because it is difficult to cool it.
The tiny little surface-mount Mosfet will probably melt if it tries to drive 2.4A. Its resistance will be about 1.2 ohms and it will try to dissipate 6.9W. But it cannot be bolted to a heatsink, it is cooled a little by the copper on a pcb.
Ooops...thanks for the correction
EDIT: would this be a good canidate for the 25ohm resistor? ((Attached))
