#12, are you trying to blow up the gate of the NFET?Consider this.
Anywhere near correct?
Wrong symbol? I thought I put a p-fet in there.#12, are you trying to blow up the gate of the NFET?
Get a DC SCR to act as a switch which uses a low (3 volt) control voltage and can drive a 1 amp inductive load at 12 volts to handle your solenoid. That is the simplest turn key one component solution I can think of. DC SCR should get some Google hits for you. The SCR goes in parallel with your LED assuming you have a On/Off 3 volt signal to work with. That or remove the LED and replace with the SCR and place another LED across the relay coil.sorry friend for the lack of details.The 3v is a led positive voltage for another device.when the device reaches a certain temperature a led is on which I want to use as a trigger for the powering of the solenoid valve .The 12 v source is already ground so as the output to the solenoid is also grounded
