Pololu High-Power Motor Driver 24v23 CS
Description
- Pololu High-Power Motor Driver 24v23 CS
- Supports 5 to 40 V voltage range
- Delivers 23 A continuously without heat sink
- Includes bidirectional current sensing
- Enables motor coasting with extra input
- Measures motor current up to 30 A
The Pololu High-Power Motor Driver 24v23 CS is a discrete MOSFET H-bridge motor driver designed for bidirectional control of high-power DC brushed motors. This compact board, measuring 1.8 by 1.2 inches, supports a voltage range from 5 to 40 volts and efficiently delivers a continuous current of 23 amperes without the need for a heat sink. It features an analog voltage output proportional to the motor current, enhancing its functionality.
This motor driver is equipped with an additional control input that allows for coasting, complementing the driving and braking capabilities of other Pololu high-power motor drivers. The board's performance is largely attributed to its N-channel MOSFETs, which have an absolute maximum voltage rating of 40 volts. However, to prevent damage, it is advisable to maintain a safe maximum voltage of approximately 34 volts due to potential ripple voltage on the supply line.
The driver is versatile, accommodating a wide range of currents and voltages, and can deliver up to 37 amperes of continuous current with an added heat sink. It offers a straightforward interface requiring minimal I/O lines and supports both sign-magnitude and locked-antiphase operation. Additionally, the board includes a current-sensing circuit capable of measuring bidirectional motor current up to 30 amperes, outputting an analog voltage.
Note: The board lacks reverse power protection and over-current or over-temperature protection, so it is recommended to use the integrated current sensor to prevent exceeding safe current levels.

Refund Policy
If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
Please review the Return Conditions, Return Exceptions and the process on How to Request a Return Authorisation (RA) before initiating a return request.
United Kingdom consumers exercising their statutory Right of Cancellation are subject to different conditions. See the Statutory Right of Cancellation.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorisation (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A £100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tyres, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odour-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
- On-Demand Items * — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfil a customer request.
- Professional & Specialized Equipment — See the Professional & Specialized Equipment Warranty page and Professional & Institutional Buyers (B2B) section in the Terms & Conditions.
* United-Kingdom consumers retain their statutory Right of Cancellation on these items. Its exercise is subject to the conditions and exclusions set out in the Statutory Right of Cancellation, and any reimbursement may be reduced to reflect a loss in value resulting from handling beyond inspection.
How to Request a Return Authorisation (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
