The SG90 is a compact 9 g servo for Arduino, RC and robotics projects. Choose 180° for standard angle control or 360° for continuous rotation. Both options use the same 3-wire connection, body and mounting pattern, and each comes with horns and screws.

Specifications

180° - Standard positional

Moves to a commanded angle and holds it across a full 180° sweep. This is the version most tutorials and projects expect.

360° - Continuous rotation

Turns continuously in either direction. The signal controls speed and direction, not shaft angle, with neutral around 1500 µs.

What's in the box

1×
SG90 servo in your selected rotation option

Includes three servo horn arms and mounting screws.

Great for

Robot arms and grippers

Use the 180° option for repeatable position control.

Steering and control surfaces

The 180° option suits RC and small mobile projects.

Pan and tilt mounts

Use the 180° option to aim a small camera or sensor.

Drive wheels and rovers

Use 360° when you need continuous forward and reverse motion.

Rotating displays and conveyors

The 360° option controls direction and speed.

Arduino and STEM projects

A compact servo for prototypes, kits and classroom builds.

Wiring & getting started

  1. Connect the three wires

    Brown goes to GND, red to a regulated 4.8 to 6 V supply, and orange to the controller's signal pin.

  2. Share the ground

    If the servo has a separate power supply, connect its ground to the Arduino, ESP32 or receiver ground.

  3. Use the right control range

    For 180°, use write(0) to write(180). End points vary slightly between units, so test the travel before fitting the horn to a loaded mechanism.

  4. Set neutral on the 360° option

    write(90) or about 1500 µs should stop it. If it creeps, adjust the neutral value slightly until the shaft stays still.

  5. Allow enough current

    One unloaded servo can be tested from a development board's 5 V pin. For a loaded servo or several servos, use a separate regulated supply with a common ground.

Exactly what I ordered, blown away by speed of delivery though. I never get packages that fast. Also the print outs they give you are super handy. Saves a whole lot messing about online. Great little business 👍.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions buyers ask most.

Can I use the SG90 with Arduino?
Yes. Use the built-in Servo library, with brown to GND, red to 4.8 to 6 V, and orange to a signal pin. No separate driver board is needed.
What is the difference between the 180° and 360° options?
The 180° option moves to a commanded angle and holds it. The 360° option turns continuously, so the command sets speed and direction instead of an angle.
Which rotation option should I choose?
Choose 180° for most tutorials, robot arms, steering and other projects that need position control. Choose 360° for wheels, conveyors or displays that need to keep turning. For a mechanism that only needs a short 90° arc, our SG92R micro servo is the better fit.
Why will the 360° option not hold an angle?
It is a continuous-rotation servo, so it does not provide position control. Around write(90), or 1500 µs, is neutral. Values either side set direction and speed. Adjust neutral slightly if the shaft creeps.
Can I power it from an Arduino 5 V pin?
One unloaded servo is usually fine for a quick test. For a loaded servo or several servos, use a separate regulated 4.8 to 6 V supply and connect its ground to the controller ground.
What is included?
One SG90 servo in your selected rotation option, three servo horn arms and mounting screws.

Why Buy from NZN

Useful parts, fair prices and someone local to help.

I'm Lukas, an engineering student and maker based in Te Awamutu. NZN grew out of a CNC build that dragged on for months because every missing cable, bolt or electronic part meant another overseas order. I started the shop so Kiwi makers can spend more time building and less time waiting for the next parcel.
