Pin Configuration

  • N20 150 RPM DC Motor for Robotics High Torque - Pinout Documentation
  • The N20 150 RPM DC Motor is a high-torque motor designed specifically for robotics applications. The motor has a 3-pin connector, which is used to control the motor's rotation direction and speed. Below is a detailed explanation of each pin:
  • Pinout Structure:
  • | Pin Number | Pin Name | Function |
  • | --- | --- | --- |
  • | 1 | VCC (Positive) | Power Supply (Positive Voltage) |
  • | 2 | GND (Negative) | Power Supply (Negative Voltage/Ground) |
  • | 3 | Signal | Motor Control (Direction and Speed) |
  • Pin-by-Pin Explanation:
  • 1. VCC (Positive) - Pin 1:
  • Function: Power supply positive voltage input
  • Description: This pin is connected to the positive terminal of the power supply, which can range from 3V to 12V, depending on the motor's specifications.
  • Notes: Ensure that the power supply voltage matches the motor's specified voltage rating to avoid damage or inefficient operation.
  • 2. GND (Negative) - Pin 2:
  • Function: Power supply negative voltage input/Ground
  • Description: This pin is connected to the negative terminal of the power supply and serves as the ground reference point for the motor.
  • Notes: A solid ground connection is essential for the motor's operation and safety.
  • 3. Signal - Pin 3:
  • Function: Motor control (Direction and Speed)
  • Description: This pin is used to control the motor's rotation direction and speed. The signal is typically a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) signal from a microcontroller or a dedicated motor driver.
  • Notes:
  • + Logic Level: The signal pin operates at a logic level voltage, typically 5V or 3.3V, depending on the microcontroller or motor driver used.
  • + PWM Frequency: The recommended PWM frequency for this motor is between 20 Hz to 50 Hz.
  • + Direction Control: The motor's rotation direction can be controlled by changing the polarity of the signal. A high signal (5V or 3.3V) typically corresponds to one direction, while a low signal (0V) corresponds to the opposite direction.
  • Connection Guidelines:
  • When connecting the motor to a microcontroller or motor driver, ensure the following:
  • Connect Pin 1 (VCC) to the positive terminal of the power supply.
  • Connect Pin 2 (GND) to the negative terminal of the power supply and ground reference point of the microcontroller or motor driver.
  • Connect Pin 3 (Signal) to the output pin of the microcontroller or motor driver designated for the motor control signal.
  • Important Safety Considerations:
  • Always refer to the motor's datasheet and safety documentation for specific voltage, current, and power ratings.
  • Ensure proper heat dissipation and thermal management to avoid motor damage or overheating.
  • Use suitable thermal protection and overcurrent protection devices to prevent damage to the motor and surrounding components.
  • By following these guidelines and understanding the pinout structure, you can successfully integrate the N20 150 RPM DC Motor for Robotics High Torque into your project and control its rotation direction and speed.
