-The MOSFET Shield Kit connects a 60V 30A N-Channel MOSFET to the Digispark development board. This allows the Digispark to turn DC loads on and off and use PWM with larger loads. The MOSFET is rated for 30A, but should be used at a far lower amperage without additional cooling. ​+The MOSFET Shield Kit connects a 60 V 30 A N-Channel MOSFET to the Digispark development board.

 This is an unassembled kit and requires basic soldering. This is designed for use with the Digispark development board, which is not included. This is an unassembled kit and requires basic soldering. This is designed for use with the Digispark development board, which is not included.
