Good Morning to All,
I am driving a solenoid with a 12V coil, the coil is 34Ohms, off the top of my head thats about 1/3 of an Amp, I am also powering a 12VDC lamp that pulls about 2.5 Amps. I hear that I can use an IRF3205 Hexfet to be driven directly from my output on a 16F628A. The next question I have, on most datasheet for the FET's I've looked shows Vcc then FET then the load one is wanting to control (connected to drain) and then the Ground (connected to the Source).

Because of the solenoid and the lamp housing are ground, does it make a difference if I use the IRF3205 connected as: gate directly to output pin from 16F628A, Vcc 12VDC to Drain,
Source connected to load, and through the housing the load will get its ground.

Thanks
