## Description

Directly control up to 6 separate high-power loads such as high-intensity LEDs, lamps, motors, and relays. Incorporates 6 N-channel MOSFETs, each capable of switching up to 60Vdc at 20 Amps. That's enough to drive massive loads such as 30W and 60W RGB LEDs capable of burning your eyeballs right out of your head!

Each MOSFET is connected to an Arduino pin with PWM capability, so you can vary the power delivered to each load individually.

Note: Since the N-Drive shield is using N-channel MOSFETs internally, you'll want to switch the negative side of your load, [see the guide for more details](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/uploads/NSHIELD-Quickstart-Guide-Freetronics.pdf).

### Features

- 6 x 60V / 20A MOSFETs
