Cytron MOTOR DRIVER L298N 2A 7-30V 2CH

If you are in search for low cost motor driver that can control two small DC brush motor or one stepper motor, you are at the correct page. Check out this low cost L298 based motor driver.

Compatible with Arduino, CT-UNO, Maker-UNO, Raspberry Pi, and many more controller board as it is based on TTL logic (0 to 5V). It provides control of:

• Start
• Stop
• Brake
• Direction
• Speed

to your motor. Maximum current output is up to 2A(peak) per motor. The board there are build in flyback/back EMF diodes too. If you power it >20VDC and enable on board 5V regulator, it will get quite warm and it is normal.

Which motor is suitable for this motor driver? As long as the motor is:

• DC brushed motor with two terminals
• Operating voltage: 7V to 30VDC
• Rated current is ≤ 1.0 Amps
• Peak current is ≤ 2.0 Amps
• Or Stepper Motor with 4 leads (bipolar)

Features

• Dual Channel Motor driver for DC brushed motor
• It can also drive bipolar stepper motor
• 1A continuous current per channel (2A peak)
• Vmotor: 7V to 30VDC
• Dimension: 5.5cm x 4.4cm 2.7cm
• Ready with:
  • Vmotor, GND and 5V terminals
  • Output A and B terminals for motor
  • Heatsink mounted with L298 for better heat dissipation
  • Flyback EMF diodes
  • Header pins for IN1, IN2, IN3, and IN4
  • On board 5V voltage regulator
• Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, but will require manual wiring.

Packing List

• 1 x L298N board
