Hi all,
I am looking for some advice on the best method to control a 12V, 4.5A Pressure Pump using a Teensy 4.1?
The system was previously run using an Arduino Mega and a 24V 5A IRF520 Mosfet Driver Module to control this motor. I am having a hard time find a finding a suitable Mosfet alternative for the Teensy? I'm also a bit worried I am going about this the wrong way (e.g. would a motor controller work better/use less power/etc)?
Thanks for any advice! I'd also appreciate any guidance on topics I should read up on more

- Is there a better method than a Mosfet module to control the pump for a teensy (I am very new to circuits, so forgive my ignorance)? The current mosfet gets hot.
- I have seen that some people suggest the FQP30N06L, but read conflicting comments suggesting this would not work with 3.3V signal and get really hot under load? Would a driver chip be a method to fix this as a way to work with 3.3V?
