The SimonK 12A is an ESC for DIY drone enthusiasts and quadcopters. The page says it supports 1-3S LiPo batteries and has low-voltage protection, over-temperature protection and anti-interference circuitry.
It is designed for the QAV180, 210, 250 and ZMR250 quadcopters. The specification table gives 12A continuous, 15A burst (10 s), a linear BEC at 5V/1A, dimensions of 5 x 4 x 3 cm and a weight of 15 g. The MCU and BEC have separate power supplies to reduce magnetic interference. The page showed only 11 left at Rs 527 (SKU TIFQC0068).
12A continuous, 15A burst (10 s): as listed.
1-3S LiPo input: as listed.
Linear BEC 5V at 1A: built in.
Low-voltage and overheat protection: with self-check functions.
Separate power for MCU and BEC: reduces magnetic interference.
For QAV180, 210, 250 and ZMR250: as listed.
An electronic speed controller (ESC) converts the throttle signal from the flight controller into the three-phase power that a brushless motor needs. It switches battery current through MOSFETs at high speed, so the motor turns at the speed that the pilot or autopilot asks for. The continuous current rating shows how much current the ESC can carry all the time, and the burst rating shows what it can survive for a few seconds.
Match the ESC to the rest of the power system. The battery cell count must fall inside the listed range, the continuous current must be higher than what your motor and propeller draw at full throttle, and the signal protocol (for example PWM, Oneshot, Multishot or DShot) must be supported by your flight controller. An ESC marked OPTO has no built-in BEC, so the receiver and flight controller need power from another source. An ESC with a BEC can supply a regulated voltage, usually 5V, to small electronics.
Install and test carefully. Solder joints must be clean and strong, the motor wires should be kept short and tidy, and the ESC needs airflow because current makes heat. Calibrate the throttle range if the ESC needs it, check the motor direction with the propellers removed, and never connect a battery with the propellers fitted while you are working on the wiring. Use a battery with a cell count and connector that suit the ESC, and check for a heat problem after a short test hover.
