ARK Electronics, a leading provider of advanced flight controllers, sensors, and essential electronics technologies for drones and robotics, has introduced the ARK 4IN1 ESC CONS.
The ARK 4IN1 ESC CONS is a connectorized, NDAA-compliant electronic speed controller (ESC) made in the USA and listed under the DIU Blue Framework. It runs open-source AM32 firmware and is designed to eliminate soldering during assembly.
Purpose-built for mass and high-volume drone manufacturing, the ARK 4IN1 ESC CONS streamlines the build process with built-in motor and battery connectors. By removing the need for soldering, manufacturers can assemble drones faster and scale vehicle production with greater efficiency.
The unit supports 3S to 8S battery input, with a 6V minimum and a 65V absolute maximum. Current handling includes a 30A continuous and 40A burst limit per motor via MR30 connectors, and a board capacity of 50A continuous and 75A burst per motor. It features an onboard STM32F0 processor and AM32 firmware for reliable operation.
Additional specifications include:
- Onboard current sensor (100V/A)
- Input protocols: Dshot (300, 600), bi-directional Dshot, KISS Serial Telemetry, PWM
- 8-pin JST-SH input/output and 10-pin JST-SH debug interfaces
- M2.5 battery input threaded standoffs with two 150mm 10AWG power cables terminated with M2.5 ring terminals
- Dimensions: 77.00 mm x 42.00 mm x 9.43 mm, 30.5 mm mounting pattern
- Weight: 24.0 g
The ARK 4IN1 ESC CONS offers a production-ready solution for drone manufacturers seeking rapid assembly and scalable output without sacrificing performance or regulatory alignment.
