Small DC Motor with Integrated Battery Mount (LEO92G0000)

Overview

A small DC motor with a built-in spring-contact battery mount — a compact metal bracket with two mounting holes clips a battery directly against a spring contact, powering the motor without any separate wiring to a battery holder. Identified by Alex directly (the shape is easy to mistake for a load-cell strain-gauge beam at a glance, since it’s a similar-looking flat metal bracket with two mounting holes — it is not a sensor).

Key specs

  • Type: small DC motor, integrated spring-contact battery mount
  • Embossed marking: LEO92G0000, batch/date code 20201 (both best-effort reads off worn embossing, not cross-referenced against any manufacturer datasheet — none found for this marking)
  • Voltage/current ratings: not printed/legible — unknown until measured directly
  • Mechanical mount: metal bracket with two through-holes, likely intended to double as both an electrical spring contact and a physical mounting point

Pinout

Not a wired connector — power delivery is through direct spring-contact pressure against a battery placed in the mount, plus a second lead (red wire visible in the supplied photo) presumably to the motor’s other terminal.

Contact Function
Spring-contact bracket Battery terminal contact (polarity not confirmed)
Red wire Motor lead (opposite polarity from the bracket contact, not confirmed which)

Wiring / typical usage

Treat like any small unbranded DC motor: don’t assume a voltage rating without testing (start low with a bench supply and observe behavior/current draw before committing to a specific battery). The integrated battery mount suggests this was originally part of a self-contained toy or novelty assembly (battery clips directly to the bracket, no separate holder needed) — if repurposing for a new build, decide whether to keep the integrated mount or desolder/rewire to a standard battery holder.

Code / libraries

N/A — passive motor, drive through a proper motor driver (never directly from a GPIO), same caution as the 3V DC hobby motor already in this library.

Source material

  • Identified directly by Alex from the physical part (corrected an initial misread of the bracket as a possible load-cell beam).
  • Embossed marking (LEO92G0000, 20201) read from the supplied photo — best-effort, no matching manufacturer or datasheet found for this exact code.
  • Product photo: /inventory/leo92g0000-dc-motor-battery-mount/product-photo.jpg — the actual owned unit.

Verification

Identity (small DC motor with integrated battery mount, not a load cell) confirmed directly by Alex. Embossed marking is a best-effort OCR read off worn embossing — no manufacturer or datasheet found for "LEO92G0000," treat as provisional. Voltage/current rating is UNVERIFIED — nothing printed or found online for this marking; measure directly with a bench supply and multimeter before use.

Notes / gotchas

  • Don’t confuse this part’s shape for a load cell if it resurfaces in a future photo — flat metal bracket + two mounting holes + spring element is a shared visual pattern across several unrelated component classes (load cells, battery contacts, cantilever switches); this specific one is a motor/battery-mount assembly, confirmed by Alex.
  • No voltage/current rating known — measure before powering from anything beyond a low-voltage bench supply test.
