Overview

The Grove - MOSFET is an expansion board designed to allow low-voltage microcontrollers to control higher voltage and current peripherals using a CJQ4435 P-channel MOSFET. This module acts as a power switch, enabling logic-level control for loads operating between 5V and 15V. It integrates seamlessly into the Grove ecosystem for rapid prototyping without soldering.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a standard Grove connector for plug-and-play operation with Base Shields, eliminating the risk of incorrect wiring. Its compact 20mm by 40mm footprint and support for up to 15V input make it a versatile tool for bridge-building between 3.3V/5V logic and higher voltage power rails.

Applications

High-Current Switching
Controlling DC loads such as solenoid valves, small heaters, or high-power LEDs that exceed the current limits of MCU GPIO pins.
PWM Speed Control
Implementing Pulse Width Modulation to vary the speed of 5V to 15V DC motors or adjust the brightness of LED strips.
Power Management
Acting as a load switch to completely disconnect power from peripheral sub-systems to conserve energy in battery-powered applications.

Getting Started

Connect the module to a Grove-compatible base shield using a 4-pin universal cable. Apply the external load power to the screw terminals (5V to 15V) and use a standard digital output or PWM signal from your microcontroller to toggle the MOSFET state. Refer to the CJQ4435 datasheet for thermal considerations when switching continuous high-current loads.
