Description

The 130 Micro DC Motor (3V–6V) is a compact, lightweight brushed DC motor widely used in DIY toys, small robotics, and educational projects. With its classic 130-size form factor and high-speed performance, it’s ideal for building or repairing Arduino smart cars, mini gear-driven mechanisms, small fans, vibrating projects, and creative prototypes where space is limited.

This motor is a great choice for makers because it’s easy to power and control: apply DC voltage to the two terminals and it spins; reverse the polarity and it spins the opposite direction. Pair it with a motor driver (L298N, L293D, TB6612FNG, DRV8833, etc.) to control speed via PWM and direction from a microcontroller.

Key Features & Benefits

Wide Voltage Range (3V–6V): Works with common batteries (2×AA, 3×AA, 4×AA packs, etc.)
High-Speed Output: Suitable for fast-spinning applications and gearboxes
Compact Size: Easy to integrate into toy housings, robot chassis, and small enclosures
Simple Control: Two terminals for quick wiring; easy direction reversal
DIY Friendly: Excellent for student experiments and quick prototypes

Typical Specifications

Item	Details
Motor Type	Brushed DC motor (130 size)
Operating Voltage	3V–6V DC
Body Size	20 × 15 × 28 mm (approx.)
Shaft Type	Round metal shaft (typical 130 motor)
Terminals	2 solder tabs
Use Cases	Toys, robot cars, mini fans, mechanisms

Note: RPM, torque, and current draw vary by batch and load. For best results in vehicles, use a gearbox or wheel adapter suited for 130 motors.

How to Use / Control

Direct power: Connect to a battery pack within 3V–6V range.
Direction change: Swap + and – wires to reverse rotation.
Speed control with Arduino/ESP32: Use a motor driver + PWM output for adjustable speed and safe current handling.

Common Applications

DIY robot smart car and mini vehicles
Replacement motor for toys and small mechanisms
Mini fan and air blower projects
STEM experiments (motor principles, gearing, PWM control)
Small gearboxes, wheels, pulleys, and belt-driven prototypes
