KP1071 Dual Motor Driver with Pin Sockets

KP1071 Dual Motor Driver Kit – L293D with Pin Sockets (Assembly Required)

The KP1071 dual motor driver kit allows students to control two DC motors using a microcontroller. Based on the L293D driver IC and supplied with pin sockets, it provides a practical and durable solution for learning motor control, robotics, and circuit assembly.

Key Features

• Dual motor control using L293D driver IC
• Includes 16-pin IC socket to protect the chip from heat damage
• Pin sockets for easy connection (Dupont wires required)
• Supports forward and reverse motor control
• PCB with solder mask for cleaner assembly
• Supplies in kit form – ideal for hands-on soldering and build projects
