Pololu Ideal Diode Reverse Voltage Protector, 4-60V, 12A
This module protects a connected load from reverse voltages down to -60 V. This version acts as an ideal diode, blocking reverse current from output to input.
| Operating voltage1 | Max current | Resistance2 | Reverse current blocking | Size |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 V – 60 V | 12 A | < 5 mΩ | yes (ideal diode) | 0.3″×0.5″ |
Note 1: Operates down to 3.2 V after startup.
Note 2: MOSFET on resistance.
