Hey
I was working on a little project to control rgb leds with an Arduino, however it can't work directly with the Arduino (to high current) so I asked my local electronic shop for some mosfets that would do the job.
However I am unable to get it working.
On the mosfet itself it has 3 lines of text,
IRLZ44N
I*R P513P
WA9Y
But the bill says IRFZ44N N-Ch 55. Did they gave me the wrong ones ?
To test it I used a simple circuit, The arduino's digital output connected with the gate of the mosfet, the drain to the positive side of my DC power supply unit and the source to a led that is than connected to the ground of my DC power supply.
Like this the led stays on, no matter what I do,
EDIT: I have already tried reversing drain and source, same result
