Hi,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to use a switch to power on an amplifier board. But I don't want to run all the current trough the switch.
I thought maybe something like this:
Would this work? Or can this be done with a simple transistor (my thought was to go for a mosfet because of the 5A current)? And how can I estimate the heat the mosfet will generate?
Any help or tips would be appreciated!
