{"title":"15A Single DC Motor Driver","handle":"15a-single-dc-motor-driver","url":"/products/15a-single-dc-motor-driver","description":"The DFRobot DRI0042 is a compact, high-current DC motor driver capable of continuously driving a single motor at up to 15A (with heatsink) from a 12–36V supply. The onboard LM2575 regulator provides a 5V 500mA output for powering an Arduino or other controller, and all control signal inputs include ESD protection.\n\nDirection is controlled via IN1/IN2 logic pins (3.3V/5V compatible) and speed is regulated using a PWM input. The board features under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection to safeguard your system, and uses pluggable screw terminals for easy wiring.\n\n\nNote: Before switching motor direction, brake first by setting IN1 and IN2 to LOW, especially at full speed. A 20A fuse is recommended on the power input.\n\n\nKey Features\n\n\nHigh Current Output – 12A continuous (no heatsink), 15A (with heatsink), 20A (with active cooling); 110A peak\n\nWide Voltage Range – 12–36V supply (6.5–40V absolute limit)\n\n3.3V/5V Logic Compatible – Works directly with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers\n\n5V Regulated Output – 500mA output to power your controller from the motor supply\n\nFull Protection – UVLO (under-voltage lockout) and ESD-protected control inputs\n\nCompact Size – 55 × 55 × 20 mm\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nSupply Voltage – 12–36V DC (limit: 6.5–40V)\n\nContinuous Current – 12A (no heatsink) / 15A (with heatsink) / 20A (with cooling system)\n\nPeak Current – 110A\n\nControl Signal – High: 2.0–5.5V, Low: 0–0.8V\n\nSpeed Control – PWM (min pulse width: 200 ns)\n\n5V Output – 500mA max\n\nOperating Temperature – -25°C to 85°C\n\nMounting Holes – M3\n\nDimensions – 55 × 55 × 20 mm\n\nWeight – 42g\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nMobile robots and autonomous platforms\nHigh-current DC motor control in compact spaces\nPWM speed-controlled motor applications\nProjects requiring integrated 5V power for a controller\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 15A single DC motor driver (DRI0042)\n\n\nResources\n\nProduct Wiki\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13687,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-DRI0042","price":32.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":46,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
