DC Motor 130 1.5V-6V with Alligator Clips Wire Leads

Put electromagnetism in motion — literally! This classic Type 130 DC motor is a staple of hands-on science education and a go-to component for electronics hobbyists. Spinning anywhere from 5,000 to 10,000 RPM depending on voltage, this little powerhouse is ready to drive fans, propellers, small wheels, and all manner of creative mechanisms. Best of all, it comes with pre-soldered 8 inch (20.3 cm) red and black wire leads tipped with color-coded alligator clips, so you can snap it straight onto a battery holder, solar cell, or breadboard power supply — no soldering bench required. Perfect for the classroom, the science camp workbench, or the hobbyist's parts drawer.

Whether you're demonstrating Faraday's law, building a bristlebot, powering a DIY wind turbine model, or prototyping a robotics project, this motor delivers reliable, repeatable performance across a wide 1.5V–6V operating range. Run it off a single AA battery for a gentle spin, or step it up to a 4-cell pack for serious speed. The flat-sided cylindrical body makes mounting straightforward, and the 2 mm (0.079 in) steel shaft accepts standard hobby pulleys, gears, and propeller hubs. A classroom set of these motors and a few batteries is all you need to turn abstract electrical theory into something that buzzes, whirs, and spins.
