Adafruit I2C to 8-channel solenoid/solenoid driver, STEMMA QT/Qwiic, 6318
Adafruit I2C to 8-channel solenoid/solenoid driver, STEMMA QT/Qwiic, 6318
The Adafruit I2C 8-channel solenoid driver makes connecting up to 8 solenoid valves or motors easier than ever. Tired of annoying soldering and wiring individual transistors and diodes? Here you get everything completely on one board - ideal if your project needs more than just a solenoid. Easy control: Uses MCP23017 I2C GPIO Expander - save pins on Arduino or Raspberry Pi Powerful & flexible: One AO3406 N-channel MOSFET (up to 3.6A/30V), flyback diode & status LED per channel. Versatile connection: you can use voltage from 3V to 24V DC. Expandable: up to 8 boards can be cascaded (use the address pins to do so), so you can control up to 64 solenoids! Convenient connections: STEMMA QT / SparkFun Qwiic compatible - simply connect with JST SH cable and get started. Extras: 8 additional I/Os on the B-side - perfect e.g. for LEDs or buttons. Note: Matching Qwiic/STEMMA QT cable is not included, but available in our shop. Conclusion: The Adafruit I2C Solenoid Driver saves you time, nerves and soldering irons when building your next project – whether MIDI controller, knock device or robot. Switching many solenoids has never been easier
