IRF520 PWM Controller Module - Mosfet - up to 5A and 24V - DC Motor Driver - Arduino
Thanks to the IRF520 driver module, we can control the PWM signal from, for example, Arduino and smoothly regulate DC voltage, which will allow us to control: DC motor speed, brightness of the bulb, LEDs, heaters, etc.
IRF520 module with MOSFET transistor with N channel to control devices with higher current consumption than allowed by the control system such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and other microcontroller systems.
The module is extremely useful when creating a project or a prototype, so it will be appreciated by all beginner DIY enthusiasts for its ease of implementation in the project.
Easy control does not require the use of a microcontroller, any PWM generator is enough to be able to control high-current devices.
Technical data

V-: negative pole of the controlled system
V +: positive pole of the controlled system
Hi Ruairi,
no, PWM controllers require PWM signal while it seems you have analog 0-5V source.
But you will notice that most of our PWM motor governors are controlled with a potentiometer:

If you replace the potentiometer with your own voltage divider controlled with your 0-5V DC, you will get exactly what you want.
