## 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. The 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. Key Features TB6612 Dual H-Bridge – Two full H-bridges (four half H-bridges) 1.2A Continuous / 3A Peak – Per channel PWM Speed Control – One PWM input per driver for variable speed Motor Voltage – 4.5–13.5V (separate from logic) Logic Voltage – 2.7–5V Built-In Kickback Diodes – No external flyback protection needed Polarity Protection – FET on motor voltage input Breadboard-Friendly – Includes header strip Can Drive 2× DC motors (bidirectional) 1× Bipolar or unipolar stepper motor 2–4× Solenoids (two active at a time on opposite bridges) Ideal For Robotics and motor control projects Breadboard prototyping with motors Solenoid and valve control Stepper motor positioning Package Contents 1× TB6612 motor driver breakout (assembled and tested) 1× Header strip Note: 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. Resources TB6612 Assembly and Wiring Tutorial
