For when you need to switch the positive side of your load (common cathode) instead of the negative side (common anode). Most FET shields use N-Channel MOSFETs which switch the ground connection, assuming the positive connection is always connected to power. This shield uses P-Channel MOSFETs which switch the positive, so it’ll work with loads that have a common ground (like this aquarium light )
The input is designed to take a PCB mounted Anderson PowerPole connector, but you can solder wires directly to it just as easily.
Components are as labeled on the board:
