Direction of Rotation: This propeller is available in both Clockwise (CW) and Counter-Clockwise (CCW) rotation directions, making it compatible with a wide range of motor configurations.
5x4x3 Dimensions: The propeller measures 5 inches in diameter, 4 inches in pitch, and 3 inches in height, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including miniature UAVs and RC aircraft.
High-Quality Materials: The propeller is constructed from durable, high-quality materials that provide excellent strength, stiffness, and resistance to wear and tear.
Aerodynamic Design: The propeller's aerodynamic design features a carefully crafted blade shape and angle to minimize drag and maximize thrust, resulting in improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption.
Lightweight Construction: The propeller's lightweight design reduces the overall weight of the aircraft or UAV, improving its power-to-weight ratio and overall performance.
Color Options: The 5040 Propeller is available in various colors, allowing users to customize their aircraft or UAV to suit their preferences or meet specific design requirements.
Packaging: The propeller comes in a pack of two, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for users who require multiple propellers for their projects.

Pin Configuration

Component Documentation: 5040 5x4x3 Tri-Blade CW CCW Propeller (2pcs)
Overview
The 5040 5x4x3 Tri-Blade CW CCW Propeller is a high-quality, durable, and interchangeable propeller designed for use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones, and other hobbyist or industrial applications. This propeller comes in a set of two pieces, one with clockwise (CW) rotation and the other with counterclockwise (CCW) rotation.
Pinout and Connection Guide
The propeller motor has a standardized 3-pin connector, which is commonly used in most brushless motors. Below is a detailed explanation of each pin and how to connect them:
Pin 1: Signal/Sync Wire (usually white or yellow)
Function: This pin carries the signal from the flight controller to the motor, which is used to control the motor's rotation speed and direction.
Connection:
+ Connect the signal wire to the corresponding signal pin on the flight controller's motor output (usually labeled as M1, M2, M3, etc.).
Pin 2: Positive Power Wire (usually red)
Function: This pin carries the positive voltage from the power source (battery or power distribution board) to the motor.
Connection:
+ Connect the positive power wire to the power output on the power distribution board or directly to the battery (if using a single battery setup).
Pin 3: Negative Power Wire (usually black)
Function: This pin carries the negative voltage from the power source (battery or power distribution board) to the motor.
Connection:
+ Connect the negative power wire to the power output on the power distribution board or directly to the battery (if using a single battery setup).
Connection Structure
Here's a step-by-step guide to connecting the propeller motor to the flight controller and power source:
1. Flight Controller Side
Connect the signal wire (white or yellow) from the propeller motor to the corresponding signal pin on the flight controller's motor output (M1, M2, M3, etc.).
2. Power Distribution Board/Power Source Side
Connect the positive power wire (red) from the propeller motor to the power output on the power distribution board or directly to the positive terminal of the battery.
Connect the negative power wire (black) from the propeller motor to the power output on the power distribution board or directly to the negative terminal of the battery.
Important Notes
Make sure to match the motor rotation direction (CW or CCW) with the correct propeller installation on the drone/UAV.
Use the correct propeller adapter or mounting system to secure the propeller to the motor shaft.
Ensure proper soldering and insulation of the wire connections to prevent damage or electrical shorts.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for wire gauge, length, and insulation to ensure reliable operation and minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
