I have a circuit that requires to switch on/off the load using arduino control signal. The load uses 5v5V DC and upto 3A current. MOSFET or relay must be used to switch the load supply on/off . Input to my circuit is continuous 5V DC .
Which should I use either a relay or MOSFET?
I have used IRF540 MOSFET which works but after it switches on the load voltage is only 3V ., which is very less power to the load.
If iI have to use a MOSFET what type of MOSFET is preferrable?
