Pin Configuration

BO MOTOR CLAMP (PACK OF 5) Documentation
Pinout Description
The BO MOTOR CLAMP (PACK OF 5) is a compact, five-piece set of motor clamps designed for use with robotics, automation, and IoT projects. Each clamp features a 3-pin interface, allowing for easy connection to motor controllers, drivers, or microcontrollers.
Pin Description:
The BO MOTOR CLAMP (PACK OF 5) has the following pinout structure:
1. VCC (Pin 1)
Function: Power Supply
Description: Connect to a positive voltage source (e.g., 5V or 12V) to power the motor.
Recommended Connection: Connect to a voltage regulator or a power supply module output.
2. SIG (Pin 2)
Function: Signal/Control
Description: Connect to the control signal from a microcontroller, motor controller, or driver.
Recommended Connection: Connect to a digital output pin on a microcontroller or a motor control signal output on a dedicated motor controller.
3. GND (Pin 3)
Function: Ground
Description: Connect to a ground reference point (e.g., GND pin on a microcontroller or power supply module).
Recommended Connection: Connect to a ground plane or a GND pin on a power supply module.
Connection Structure:
To connect the BO MOTOR CLAMP (PACK OF 5) to your project, follow these steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Motor Clamp
Take one of the motor clamps from the pack of five and identify the pinout structure (VCC, SIG, and GND).
Step 2: Connect Power (VCC)
Connect the VCC (Pin 1) to a positive voltage source (e.g., 5V or 12V) using a suitable wire or connector.
Ensure the voltage source is stable and regulated to prevent damage to the motor or clamp.
Step 3: Connect Control Signal (SIG)
Connect the SIG (Pin 2) to a digital output pin on a microcontroller or a motor control signal output on a dedicated motor controller.
Ensure the control signal is compatible with the motor's requirements and the clamp's specifications.
Step 4: Connect Ground (GND)
Connect the GND (Pin 3) to a ground reference point (e.g., GND pin on a microcontroller or power supply module).
Ensure a reliable ground connection to prevent electrical noise and ensure proper operation.
Tips and Precautions:
Use a suitable gauge wire and connectors to prevent voltage drops and ensure reliable connections.
Ensure proper insulation and isolation between the motor clamp and other components to prevent electrical shorts.
Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and datasheets for the motor and motor controller or driver.
Verify the compatibility of the BO MOTOR CLAMP (PACK OF 5) with your motor and project requirements before making connections.
