  • Overview
  • The 3V-9VDC 600RPM N20 Miniature Gear Motor with Metal Gear is a compact, high-performance motor designed for various IoT applications, robotics, and automation projects. This document provides a detailed explanation of the motor's pins, their functions, and how to connect them.
  • Pins Description
  • The motor has 2 pins, which are:
  • 1. VCC (Positive Power Supply Pin)
  • Function: Supplies positive voltage to the motor
  • Voltage Range: 3V to 9V DC
  • Description: This pin should be connected to a positive voltage source, such as a battery or a voltage regulator output.
  • 2. GND (Negative Power Supply Pin or Ground Pin)
  • Function: Supplies negative voltage to the motor (Ground)
  • Voltage: 0V (Ground)
  • Description: This pin should be connected to a negative voltage source, such as a battery's negative terminal or a ground pin on a voltage regulator.
  • Connecting the Pins
  • To connect the motor pins, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Power Supply Connection
  • Connect the VCC pin to a positive voltage source (e.g., a 3V or 5V DC power supply).
  • Ensure the voltage source is within the recommended range of 3V to 9V DC.
  • Step 2: Ground Connection
  • Connect the GND pin to a negative voltage source (e.g., a battery's negative terminal or a ground pin on a voltage regulator).
  • Ensure a reliable ground connection to prevent motor malfunction or damage.
  • Example Connection Diagram
