This is a miniature DC brush motor without a gearhead that usually can be found in toy cars. Simply apply any voltage from 3V to 6V at its terminals to make it rotates. Reverse the terminal polarity will make it rotates in the opposite direction.
It comes with 2 wire leads that allow you to connect to the breadboard directly. This feature is very convenient for the school teachers to introduce the basic control of DC motor in the classroom.
Due to its high-speed, low torque specification, you can consider using it to build a small-scale fan. However, it is not suitable to be used as the driving motor for your mobile robot.
