Keyestudio Electromagnet Module For Arduino DIY Projects

The Keyestudio Electromagnet Module is a compact, 5V actuator designed to introduce students, makers, and hobbyists to the practical applications of electromagnetism. By applying a simple high or low digital signal from an Arduino or compatible microcontroller, users can easily control the magnetic field to attract or release ferromagnetic objects. It is ideal for DIY sorting machines, automated locks, and educational robotics projects.

High-strength magnetic suction

This compact module features a tightly wound internal coil designed to concentrate the magnetic field through its centre. When fully energised, it generates enough electromagnetic force to hold ferromagnetic loads of up to 1kg.

Simple digital signal control

Operating the electromagnet is straightforward, requiring only a standard high or low logic level on the signal pin to switch the magnetic field on and off. This makes it highly compatible with Arduino development boards and other microcontrollers.

Efficient pure copper coil

The module is built with an integrated pure copper coil that ensures high electrical conductivity and low power consumption. This design maximises magnetic strength while keeping power usage efficient during operation.

Integrated iron shell design

Encased in an integrated moulded electric iron shell, the module offers high magnetic conductivity and minimal remanence. This ensures that residual magnetism is kept to a minimum when the power is turned off, allowing for a clean release of attracted objects.

Low power electrical specifications

Designed for safe integration into low-voltage projects, the module operates at 5V DC with a maximum current draw of 0.3A and a maximum power consumption of 3W. It connects via a standard 3-pin interface with a 2.54mm pin pitch.
