TB6612FNG Dual Channel 1.2A Full-Bridge Motor Driver Module

Motors are useful for all kinds of applications, from spinning clothes in a washing machine to making mobile devices vibrate when they receive calls or messages, and it’s certainly no different for Hobbyist Electronics. However, it’s not always easy to simply drive a motor, since you need to carefully control the amount of power going into the component so that it doesn’t burn out or otherwise break, and that’s why we make sure to stock a good range of Motor Drivers for all types of motors, with these TB6612FNG Dual Channel 1.2A Full-Bridge Motor Driver Modules being primarily designed for DC Motors.

Despite the very tiny size of these motor drivers, they are actually unexpectedly beefy, offering up to 1.2A of driving current and a full-bridge arrangement for dual channels and effective Robotics control. It features a relatively simple 4-pin control interface, ensuring you have loads of other pins available for Sensors and other fun Modules, with just a Direction Pin and a PWM Pin for each of the two Motors it supports. This is quite useful for minimalist projects or those which already have a lot of pins being used, while the classic 2.54mm pin spacing means it can even be used within a simple breadboard prototype, allowing for easy planning and Prototyping before committing to a final design.
