{"title":"Adafruit TB6612 1.2A DC/Stepper Motor Driver Breakout Board","handle":"adafruit-tb6612-1-2a-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout-board","url":"/products/adafruit-tb6612-1-2a-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout-board","description":"The Adafruit TB6612 Breakout is a compact dual H-bridge motor driver that can spin two DC motors bidirectionally, step one bipolar or unipolar stepper, or fire two solenoids — all at up to 1.2A continuous per channel (3A peak). It's the same driver chip used in the Adafruit Motor Shield and Motor HAT, now in a breadboard-friendly breakout format.\n\nThe board includes a polarity protection FET on the motor voltage input, a pull-up on the standby/enable pin, and built-in kickback diodes — so you don't need external flyback protection for inductive loads.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nTB6612 Dual H-Bridge – Two full H-bridges (four half H-bridges)\n\n1.2A Continuous / 3A Peak – Per channel\n\nPWM Speed Control – One PWM input per driver for variable speed\n\nMotor Voltage – 4.5–13.5V (separate from logic)\n\nLogic Voltage – 2.7–5V\n\nBuilt-In Kickback Diodes – No external flyback protection needed\n\nPolarity Protection – FET on motor voltage input\n\nBreadboard-Friendly – Includes header strip\n\n\nCan Drive\n\n2× DC motors (bidirectional)\n1× Bipolar or unipolar stepper motor\n2–4× Solenoids (two active at a time on opposite bridges)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRobotics and motor control projects\nBreadboard prototyping with motors\nSolenoid and valve control\nStepper motor positioning\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× TB6612 motor driver breakout (assembled and tested)\n1× Header strip\n\n\n\nNote: Some soldering required to attach headers. Motors rated above 1.2A continuous draw are not suitable. Not recommended for 3V motors. Arduino, motors, and power supply not included.\n\n\nResources\n\nTB6612 Assembly and Wiring Tutorial\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9334,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-2448","price":14.11,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":103,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
