Product Disclaimer
Product information provided on our website may not be entirely accurate as specifications can vary between manufacturers, suppliers, and production batches. Please verify product specifications before using the servo in critical applications.

Important Note
Power Supply Recommendation
High-torque servos can draw significant current, especially when operating under heavy loads. It is strongly recommended to use an external power supply or suitable BEC rather than powering the servo directly from a microcontroller’s 5V pin.
Using an inadequate power source may cause voltage drops, microcontroller resets, servo jitter, or unstable operation.
Wiring
The standard wiring configuration is:
- Red: Positive
- Brown: Negative/GND
- Orange: Signal
Always verify the servo wiring and operating voltage before connecting it to your controller.
