The L298N 2A Based Motor Driver Module is a versatile, heavy-duty motor control board built for robotics, automated machinery, and micro-controller-driven motion control projects.
The L298N 2A Based Motor Driver Module is a versatile, heavy-duty motor control board built for robotics, automated machinery, and micro-controller-driven motion control projects. Powered by the high-voltage, high-current L298N dual H-bridge driver IC, it provides reliable bidirectional speed and direction control for up to two DC brushed motors or one 2-phase bipolar stepper motor.
The module supports a wide motor power supply voltage range (V_MS) from 5V up to 35V DC and delivers a continuous drive current of 2A per bridge (peak current up to 3A). Equipped with an onboard 78M05 5V linear regulator, the board can generate its own 5V logic supply when the motor input voltage is between 7V and 12V, or accept external 5V logic when driving higher voltage motors above 12V.
It features an integrated aluminum heat sink to dissipate heat under heavy continuous loads, high-capacity filter capacitors, and onboard freewheeling protection diodes to shield connected control electronics against inductive back-EMF voltage spikes. Standard screw terminal blocks make power and motor wire attachments tool-free and secure, while standard male header pins interface smoothly with 5V and 3.3V logic controllers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
