Keyestudio New L298N Shield Dual H Bridge DC Stepper Drive Controller Board Module smart car robot

The Keyestudio L298N Dual H-Bridge Shield is a robust motor driver module designed for controlling DC motors and stepper motors in smart car and robotic projects. It is an ideal choice for South African students, educators, and hobbyists building mobile robotics platforms.

Powerful dual H-bridge driver

Built around the ST L298N control chip, this module features a dual H-bridge design that delivers strong driving capability with a low calorific value. It offers robust anti-interference performance, making it highly reliable for driving DC and stepper motors.

Onboard voltage regulation

The board includes an onboard 78M05 voltage regulator to supply 5V logic power directly from your motor power source. For motor driving voltages exceeding 12V, please use an external 5V logic supply to avoid damaging the voltage stabilising chip.

Enhanced circuit protection

Equipped with a large-capacity filter capacitor and protection diodes, this module safeguards your control circuits against reverse current. This design improves overall reliability and protects your connected microcontrollers.

Key technical specifications

This compact 30g module measures 43 x 43 x 27 mm and supports a wide driving voltage range of 5V to 35V. It delivers up to 2A of driving current per single bridge with a maximum power rating of 25W, operating safely in temperatures from -20 to +135 degrees Celsius.
