A dual H-bridge DC motor controller based on the L298N driver chip, capable of driving two bi-directional DC motors at up to 2 A per channel. The module accepts a wide motor supply voltage of 4.8–46V and includes high-speed protection diodes and an enlarged heatsink for improved thermal performance.
With standard screw-hole mounting and a breakout module design, it's ideal for flat-mount applications where a stacked Arduino shield isn't practical.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- Power dissipation
- Power dissipation is electrical energy being turned into heat inside a component. It matters because too much heat can reduce efficiency, affect reliability, or require a larger component or better cooling.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
