Servo

SG90 Micro Servo Motor

The classic 9g micro servo — small, cheap, and perfect for any hobby mechanism.

The most common hobby servo in existence — 180° rotation, 9g weight, and near-universal library support across every microcontroller platform.

Specifications

Operating voltage4.8V - 6V DC (5V typical)
Torque~1.8 kg·cm at 4.8V, ~2.2 kg·cm at 6V
Rotation~180° on most units (some batches are limited to 120° — test before mounting)
Speed~0.1 sec/60° at 4.8V, no-load
Control signalPWM, 50Hz, ~1ms-2ms pulse width (1.5ms = center)
Weight~9g

Pinout

PinNameDescription
1GNDGround — usually the brown or black wire
2VCCPower, 4.8V-6V DC — usually the red wire
3SignalPWM control input — usually the orange or yellow wire

Wire color order (GND-VCC-Signal vs Signal-VCC-GND) varies by manufacturer — check the connector keying, not just color, before powering on.
