DartBox Breakout PCBs allow directly attaching this PCB to the rear of a motor can to make for tight right-angle wiring, protect the fragile copper tabs, and even allow a capacitor to be added to reduce electrical noise (optional).
Capacitors used should be Surface Mount, 0805 package size, between 1 and 100 nanoFarads.
Weight: 0.865 grams each, 1.73 grams (0.06oz) per pair (averaged over 20 pcs)
Sold in sets of four (4) PCBs for the listed price. These will fit the new DartBox V2 custom motor options and should fit on any Out Of Darts motors as well. CAD model here.
We used them on our hovercraft motors in our engineering course, because otherwise, we were trying to solder, or at least use push on terminals crimped-on, onto the students' wires. And, they were breaking off with vibration.
we soldered onto these, this year; but, we bought enough to use some next year too. Especially since we bought these during the last week or two of classes - and the students were almost done with their projects.
Next year, we will solder into the RED and BLACK terminals green screw terminal headers, to slide the wires into and then tighten down the screw. Because, our whole hope is that wires can be removed for testing, etc. And, at the end of the semester the motors are all removed from student-projects and returned to inventory too! These will help immensely with this.
We may find that we do need a plastic washer on the motor terminals to be sure that no PCB traces touch the metal case of the motor.
Must have for dart box motors end of story.
These certainly can handle the current any of Just 'Cuz Robotics offer. It is so nice to have a simple option to add to any 130 series motor as these protect the weak tabs and provide a nice location to add wiring/optional connectors. Thank you!!!
now I don't need to stress about rune-ing the tabs. 10/10
