Learn how to implement reverse polarity protection using a MOSFET for Arduino projects and other electronic circuits in this 25-minute video tutorial. Explore the advantages of using a P-Channel MOSFET over traditional diode protection, including improved efficiency and clever circuit design. Discover the unique properties of MOSFETs that allow for protection regardless of connection orientation. Follow along with a practical demonstration, examine component datasheets, and gain insights into current flow, body diodes, and Zener diodes. Enhance your electronics knowledge and protect your projects from accidental reverse polarity connections.
