L293D Dual H-Bridge Motor Driver IC (DIP-16 Package)

The L293D module and Arduino shield already in the catalog cover the plug-and-play case, but some builds call for the chip to be wired directly into a custom PCB or breadboard layout instead, placed exactly where the circuit needs it rather than wherever a fixed module happens to sit. This bare DIP-16 L293D is the same proven dual H-bridge driver, capable of running two DC motors forward and backward or one stepper motor, just without the breakout board wrapped around it.
