The L298N is an outstanding dual full - bridge drive. It comes in 15 - lead Multiwatt and PowerSO20 packages. With a high operating supply voltage reaching up to 46V, it can handle large DC currents. The peak instantaneous current can go up to 3A, and the continuous operating current is 2A, with a rated power of 25W. This drive has two H - bridge drives, perfect for driving inductive loads like relays, solenoids, DC motors, and stepping motors. For more in - depth details, check out the WIKI. The package includes 1 * Motor Drive - L298N module. Note: When using a driving voltage over 12V, use an external 5V logic supply to prevent damage to the voltage stabilizing chip.


Using this L298N motor drive is quite straightforward. First, connect your inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC motors, or stepping motors to the two H - bridge drives. Make sure to check the voltage requirements of your load. If you're using a driving voltage higher than 12V, don't forget to use an external 5V logic supply. This will keep the voltage stabilizing chip safe from damage. As for maintenance, keep the module clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you have any questions about how to use it, you can always refer to the WIKI for more detailed information.
