Reverse-polarity protection with back-to-back P-MOSFETs

Reverse-polarity protection and an off switch from two P-channel MOSFETs back to back. Q1 (drain toward the input) and Q2 (drain toward the load) share their source; one 47 kΩ pulls the shared gate down and a 12 V zener clamps gate to source.
