DC6-12V MINI Aquarium water Pump R385

Product Description The R385 Mini Water Pump is a versatile, self-priming diaphragm pump designed for efficient fluid transfer in small-scale automation. Operating within a 6V to 12V DC range, this pump is highly effective for applications requiring a steady flow without the need for submersion. Its diaphragm-based mechanism allows it to handle both water and air, making it a popular choice for everything from automated plant watering systems to mini aquarium circulation.

Key Features

• Self-Priming Capability: Can draw water from a source up to 2 meters away without needing to be manually primed or submerged.

• Quiet Operation: Engineered to run at a noise level below 30dB when pumping liquids, ensuring a serene environment for indoor setups.

• High-Temperature Resistance: Capable of handling heated liquids up to 80°C, suitable for tea-making machines or specific industrial prototypes.

• Dual-Medium Pumping: While optimized for water, it can also pump air, though it operates with a higher noise profile during vacuum/air tasks.

• Compact Mounting: Includes a flexible silicone bracket and integrated filter for stable, vibration-dampened installation.

Technical Details

• Diaphragm Efficiency: Uses a high-quality motor coupled with a rubber diaphragm that creates a vacuum to pull and push fluids reliably.

• Voltage Flexibility: Performance scales with voltage; for maximum lift and flow, it is best operated at 12V 1A.

• Non-Submersible Design: The motor housing is not waterproof; only the inlet and outlet tubes should come into contact with the fluid.

• Startup Torque: Requires a power supply capable of handling a brief 2A surge during the initial motor startup.

• Durable Construction: Features a robust plastic body and silicon components that resist corrosion and scaling from standard tap water.

• Small Form Factor: Measuring roughly 90mm in length, it fits easily into tight enclosures for portable medical or garden tech.

• Filter Protection: The internal mesh filter prevents large particles from entering the diaphragm chamber, reducing mechanical wear.

• Logic Level Control: Easily integrated with relay modules or high-current MOSFETs for automation via microcontrollers.

• Continuous vs Intermittent: Best suited for intermittent use to maintain the 2500-hour motor life; avoid running dry for extended periods.

• Flow Consistency: Provides a pulse-based flow characteristic of diaphragm pumps, ideal for metered liquid dispensing.

• Outlet Dimensions: Standard 8mm OD nozzles are compatible with common PVC or silicone tubing found in most hobby kits.

• Energy Efficient: Consumes minimal power during steady-state operation, making it suitable for solar-powered remote systems.

• Chemical Compatibility: Generally safe for water and mild non-corrosive liquids; check material compatibility for oils or alcohols.

• Mounting Versatility: The round motor shape is easily secured using the included bracket or standard 40mm pipe clamps.
