PAM8403 Mini Stereo Audio Amplifier Module — 3W+3W, 5V, Class D
The PAM8403 mini stereo audio amplifier module delivers 3W+3W stereo output from a single 5V USB supply using the efficient Class D PAM8403 amplifier IC. With filterless output, low THD, and high efficiency (>85%), it is the ideal amplifier module for portable speaker projects, Arduino audio systems, and any application requiring compact stereo amplification from a 5V source.
The on-board volume potentiometer provides manual volume control, and the 3.5mm stereo input jack accepts audio from phones, computers, and Arduino DAC outputs. Powered directly from USB or any 5V supply — no external power supply required for most applications.
