I have a very simple circuit which is just a battery and a motor. I need to switch on the motor using a bush button attached to an arduino.
The motor is 12v DC and has a stall current of 20A, which seems to be the limiting factor here.
I am currently planning to use an IRFZ44NS MOSFET to do the switching, but the more I research it the more I realize the Arduino isn't going to saturate the gate enough and heat is going to become a big issue.
Does anyone have any better suggestions? My only real requirement is it has to be relatively small to fit inside my project. As small as a MOSFET, lol.
