L298 Large Current Dual Dc Motor Driver Shield
In Stock
Categories: Motor Drivers
Description
Key Features:
✔ Dual H-Bridge Design – Independently control 2 DC motors (or 1 stepper motor) in forward, reverse, or PWM speed modes. ✔ High Current Capacity – 2A continuous per channel (3A peak) – ideal for large motors (12V–24V). ✔ Arduino Shield Form Factor – Stacks directly onto Uno, Mega, and other 5V/3.3V boards (no wiring needed). ✔ Wide Voltage Range (5V–35V) – Supports 6V, 12V, and 24V motor power. ✔ Built-in Protection – Heat sink + diode protection against back-EMF. ✔ Easy Control – Uses Arduino PWM pins for speed regulation.
