Kitronik Clippable Servo Motor with Crocodile Clips, 20g

The Kitronik Clippable Servo Motor is an ingenious, user-friendly component designed to simplify electronics and robotics projects, particularly those using the BBC micro:bit. It replaces the standard pin header found on conventional servos with convenient crocodile clips, enabling quick, solder-free connections. This makes it perfectly compatible with other clippable accessories, such as the Kitronik Klip Motor Driver, allowing for rapid prototyping and experimentation without the need for specialised tools or soldering skills.

Built around the robust Feetech FS90MG-CL core, this servo features a metal gear train that offers superior strength, reliability, and longevity compared to plastic gears, making it ideal for applications that demand durability. It operates within a voltage range of 4.8V to 6V, delivering an output torque of 1.8kg to 2.2kg respectively, providing ample power for a wide variety of robotic mechanisms.

The servo provides approximately 180 degrees of total rotation (about 90 degrees in each direction) and can be controlled using any standard 180-degree servo code or libraries. It is fully programmable with popular micro:bit editors like MakeCode and Python, catering to both beginners learning the basics of coding and more advanced users developing complex projects. When used in micro:bit projects, please note that a separate power supply is required unless you are using the integrated power from a Kitronik Klip Motor Driver board.

Supplied with four different servo horns and fixings, it offers great flexibility for attaching to wheels, arms, or other mechanisms. Its compact design and clippable interface make it a cornerstone for educational robotics, DIY creations, and interactive prototypes.
