Jan 5, 2020 at 17:26 comment added Аnap Sinaphurta So.. is there some other FET transistor I can replace it ? The relay is consuming about 50 mA.

Jan 5, 2020 at 16:07 comment added D.A.S. Then go search for logic level FETs with Vt=1V or make a 3V to 12V level shifter using any NPN. or simply use any NPN to drive the coil instead of FET. Why don't they teach students that Vgs(th) is just the very early threshold of conduction at < 1mA and that has a 50% tolerance. All the old Enh FETS were 2~4V for Vt. Also if it starts with IRF it is the old style.
