as for the diode you suggested, i am trying just to understand, is a 10A is too high as i need to protect up to 7A and stop conducting when it reaches 7A, in that case, the diode will stop at 10A instead?
This diode is not protecting against overvoltage- it is just protecting against the reverse connection which may damage the components (just in case). The diode is not going to stop conducting when it reaches a particular current value. Also 25mA should be able to turn on the mosfet sufficiently fast.
