2x1.2A DC Motor Driver (TB6612FNG)
We have ✅ 2 available of the DF-DRI0044 in our Sydney warehouse. An extra 237 units available with a short lead time.
The DFRobot 2×1.2A DC Motor Driver is a compact dual-channel motor driver based on the TB6612FNG IC. It requires only four GPIO pins to control two DC motors, using the same control logic as the DFRobot L298N motor driver — making existing L298N code directly compatible.
Each channel delivers up to 1.2 A continuous drive current with 2 A peak (continuous pulse) or 3.2 A peak (single pulse). The standard XH2.54 pin header can be plugged directly into a breadboard, making it ideal for prototyping and compact builds.
