## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=COM0820:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/COM0820:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)

## Description

One of our popular micro metal gearmotors, equipped with a pre-soldered Motor Connector Shim.

Pimoroni has fitted this motor with a Motor Connector Shim so that you can connect it up to a controller board (like [Motor SHIM for Pico](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-motor-shim-for-pico.html)) using a convenient [2 pin JST-ZH cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/motor-connector-shim-cable-pack-of-2-50mm.html), with **no soldering required**. Using cables to connect up your motors means they're easy to incorporate into your robotic designs, and straightforward to connect/disconnect if you need to swap out your motors for different ones.

If you need a motor with a different gear ratio, we also sell [Motor Connector Shims](https://core-electronics.com.au/motor-connector-shim-mcs-pack-of-2-sideways.html) on their own so you can solder them on yourself.

**[Cables](https://core-electronics.com.au/motor-connector-shim-cable-pack-of-2-50mm.html) are sold separately.**

**Specifications**

This gearmotor is a miniature brushed DC motor with a metal gearbox.
