Best selling Diodes from Adafruit
On this page you’ll find a ranking of the best Diodes from Adafruit. To give you a quick overview, we’ve added the most important product details. This page always stays fresh and updates automatically.
1. Adafruit DRV8833 DC/Stepper Motor Driver Breakout Board
This motor driver chip is a good alternative to the TB6612 driver. Like this chip, it offers two full H-bridges, but it is better suited for low-voltage operation (it can operate motor power from 2.7 V to 10.8 V) and features a built-in current limiting function. The current is set to 1 A, so no more than 2 A can be reached per chip. However, there is the option to disable the current limit or change it to a different threshold.
2. Adafruit DC Stepper Motor
Make your robot dreams come true with the DC+Stepper Motor HAT from Adafruit. This Raspberry Pi add-on is perfect for any motion project, as it can control up to 4 DC motors or 2 stepper motors with full PWM speed control. Raspberry Pi and motors are not included. Since the Raspberry Pi has limited PWM pins, a dedicated PWM driver chip is used to control both the direction and speed of the motor. This chip handles all motor and speed controls via I2C.
3. Adafruit NeoPixel Ring 16 x WS2812 5050 RGB LED
They keep getting rounder and rounder! 16 ultra-bright, intelligent LED NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with an outer diameter of 44.5 mm. The rings are chainable - connect the output pin of one to the input pin of another. Use just one microcontroller pin to control as many as possible. Each LED is addressable since the driver chip is integrated within the LED. Each has a constant current drive of about 18 mA, ensuring that the color remains very consistent even when the voltage varies. No external current-limiting resistors are required, making the design sleek. Power is supplied with 5 VDC (4-7 V works) and you are ready to rock.
There is a single data line with a very time-dependent protocol. Since the protocol is time-dependent, it requires a real-time microcontroller like AVR, Arduino, PIC, mbed, etc. It cannot be used or interpreted with a Linux-based microcomputer. Microcontrollers like the Netduino or Basic Stamp are not compatible. Our wonderfully written NeoPixel library for Arduino supports the functions of addressable pixels. As it requires manually tuned assembly, it is only suitable for AVR cores, but others may have ported this chip driver code, so please do your research. A processor with 8 MHz or faster is required.
It is supplied as a single ring with 16 individually addressable RGB LEDs, mounted and tested.
Dimensions: 44.5 mm outer diameter, 31.75 mm inner diameter, 25 mm thick. Weight: 3.03 g.
4. Adafruit FLORA Wearable electronic platform V2
The Adafruit FLORA Wearable Electronic Platform V2 is a compact and versatile solution for wearable electronics projects. With a diameter of 1.75 inches and a weight of just 4.4 grams, it is lightweight and easy to integrate. The platform features built-in USB support, allowing for straightforward programming. Users can easily connect the FLORA via a Micro-B USB cable without needing to make additional purchases. The platform is compatible with a modified version of the Arduino IDE, optimized for both Mac and Windows users. The FLORA can function as a USB HID device, meaning it can be directly connected to computers as a mouse or keyboard. Additionally, the FLORA includes a convenient reset button and flexible power options that allow for the use of various battery types. These features make the FLORA an ideal choice for creative projects in the field of wearable technology.
- Built-in USB support for easy programming

5. Adafruit VERTER 5V USB Buck-Boost upto 1000ma
The Adafruit VERTER 5V USB Buck-Boost is a versatile voltage converter that allows you to turn almost any battery pack into a reliable 5V power source. With the ability to accept input voltages from 3 to 12 VDC, this converter is ideal for portable projects where the voltage source may vary. The VERTER seamlessly switches between boost and buck converter modes depending on the input voltage, providing a stable output voltage. Notably, it adjusts the output voltage to 5.2 V to ensure optimal performance with devices like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Beagle Bone, even under high current demands. The integrated TPS63060 chip from Texas Instruments ensures high efficiency and a variety of useful features, making the VERTER an excellent choice for developers and hobbyists.
- Input voltage of 3-12 VDC, ideal for variable voltage sources
- Seamless switching between boost and buck converter modes
- Output voltage of 5.2 V for enhanced performance with USB devices
- Integrated TPS63060 chip for high efficiency and reliability
- Supports up to 1000 mA output current.
6. Adafruit RGB 7-Segment Digit 2.5cm
The photo is not a Photoshop job, but a 7-segment display with an RGB LED in each individual segment. Now you can implement a large 7-segment display in your project with a full-color display.
Each segment contains 3 red/green/blue LEDs, totaling 21 LEDs. The anodes are all connected together, and there are 21 cathodes for control. Unfortunately, this means you will need 21 pins to fully control the display, and we do not have a simple solution for that. We recommend chaining 3 75HC595 (or similar) together so that you can control 24 pins with a 3-pin SPI interface. This allows you to control the LED of each segment separately. The decimal point is not connected and does not light up on this display, only the seven segments.
Dimensions: 35.59 mm x 24.10 mm x 0.9 mm x 8.18 mm / 0.3"
For more details including dimensions, pinouts, brightness, etc., please refer to the datasheet.
7. Adafruit TPS62827 3.3V Buck Converter Breakout - 3.3V Output 2 Amp Max
This small step-down converter based on the TPS62827 is super practical. It accepts input voltages of up to 5.5 V and provides a 3.3 V output with up to 2 A of current. It is excellent for powering circuits that require a hungry 3.3 V supply from a variety of battery or power supply options. This chip delivers up to 2 A of load current across the entire input voltage range of 3.4 to 5.5 V. While this isn't a huge range, it covers LiPoly batteries, 3 alkaline batteries, and USB power.
Great for your portable project, we made this pin-compatible with the LM1117-3.3 V TO-220 chip, allowing you to swap it out for better performance (90-95% efficiency!). There is also an enable pin; pull it low to completely shut off the output.
The Adafruit TPS62827 breakout runs at a fixed frequency of 2.2 MHz. Although the chip itself supports up to 4 A, we found that around 2 Amps was a good maximum for constant current draw, with 3 Amps for temporary peak current draw. We used a double-sided PCB made from 2 oz copper.
Comes with a fully assembled and tested breakout board. A header for plugging into a breadboard is also included.
8. Adafruit Neopixel Mini PCB (5 pcs.
5 pieces of Neopixel on a small PCB.
At just 8 mm x 10 mm, this is probably the smallest breakout for Neopixels. On the back, there are 2 x 3 solder points for power supply and control. The controller is already integrated into the LED, allowing for (almost) any number of Neopixels to be connected in a series.
All pixels can display any colors with 24-bit color depth and are dimmable via PWM.
Each pixel consumes about 60 mA (white, full brightness). Since the Neopixels are very bright, beautiful results can be achieved even at 50% brightness. With an Arduino, approximately 500 Neopixels can be addressed before the RAM is full.
The maximum distance between two Neopixels should not exceed 15 cm.
Packaging unit: 5 pieces.
9. Adafruit NeoPixel Jewel Warm White 3000K
The NeoPixel Jewel in Warm White 3000K from Adafruit is an innovative LED that combines RGB and white LEDs to create impressive lighting effects. With a total of seven integrated 5050 RGBW LEDs on a sleek, round circuit board, this product offers an excellent way to enhance projects with vibrant colors and warm light.
