Farnell unveils Nexperia’s motor control evaluation kit featuring Würth Elektronik components
Farnell has released a new unboxing video showcasing the NEVB-MTR1-KIT1 motor control evaluation kit. The kit is built by Nexperia and developed in partnership with Würth Elektronik.
Bringing together Nexperia’s advanced semiconductor technology with Würth Elektronik’s high-performance passive components provides engineers with a ready-made platform to accelerate motor controller development. The video gives engineers and developers insights into the kit’s design, features, and real-world benefits.
“We’re proud to showcase the result of a powerful collaboration between trusted partners,” said Jose Lok, Global Product Category Director – Onboard Components & SBC, Farnell. “This unboxing represents more than just a product. It reflects the strength of our supplier network, a shared commitment to excellence, and the seamless integration of expertise across every stage of development. From packaging to presentation, what you’ll see here is the outcome of aligned values, rigorous standards, and a partnership built on trust.”
The kit includes a 3-phase inverter board, a motor controller board, a Leonardo R3 microcontroller development board, pre-wired motor connections, and a brushless DC (BLDC) motor. Each board has been designed with precision and reliability in mind, and the unboxing video highlights its high build quality, robust technical performance, and extensive design support for developers.
“Partnering with Würth Elektronik allows us to combine the best of both worlds, high-quality passive components and advanced power semiconductors, on a single board,” said Kinga Czutro, Senior Corporate Account Manager Distribution at Nexperia. “The board is not just a development tool. It’s a practical platform for enabling engineers and innovators to accelerate innovation at the core of their designs and move from prototype to production with confidence.”
The NEVB-MTR1-KIT1 motor driver evaluation kit offers a modular, developer-friendly platform that adapts to diverse motors, control algorithms, and test environments. Its flexibility accelerates motor controller development and enables rapid iteration, testing, and optimisation, helping developers speed up time to market. The kit can be configured for use in under two minutes and is conveniently powered via USB-C.
Würth Elektronik supplied a broad range of passive components for the kit — including inductors, ferrite beads, capacitors, and connectors — all selected for their reliability and performance in demanding motor control applications. A standout feature is the integration of high-current connectors, enabling evaluations up to 1 kW at 48 V.
“We’re not just building components together, we’re building ecosystems that enable the development and operational excellence of smarter, faster, and more efficient solutions for every industry,” said Nicola Wieland, Export |Distribution Marketing Specialist for Würth Elektronik.
Key applications for the kit include use with 12–48V power tools and cordless equipment plus electric forklift trucks. The unboxing video is available via Farnell’s YouTube channel.
