Fysetc BIG 5160

FYSETC BIG5160 high-current stepper driver module for 3D-printer motion systems that need more driver headroom than a standard 2209-class StepStick.

Why use BIG5160

• Official FYSETC BIG5160 hardware: FYSETC documents it as a 6A stepper motor driver module based on TMC5160.
• The packaged module is marked 55V / 6A max, making it a fit for high-voltage stepper rails where the controller board supports BIG5160/TMC5160 drivers.
• TMC5160-family driver for SPI-controlled, high-power stepper applications.

Specifications

• Manufacturer / brand: FYSETC
• MPN: BIG5160
• Driver IC family: TMC5160
• Maximum rating shown on package: 55V, 6A max
• Official hardware files: FYSETC BIG5160 V1.1 schematic, 3D/PDF, STEP, and Gerber files are published in FYSETC’s BIG5160 GitHub repository.

Intended use

• Use for high-current axes on compatible controller boards with BIG5160/TMC5160 driver support, including FYSETC Spider King-style slots.
• Pair with an appropriate high-voltage rail such as a 48V Mean Well supply when your board and motor setup are designed for it.
• If you need a different 5160-format driver, compare with the BTT EZ5160 PRO.

Gotchas

• This is a driver module, not a complete control board.
• Confirm board pinout, orientation, current limits, cooling, and firmware SPI configuration before power-up.
• Do not use the 55V / 6A maximum rating as a recommended operating point; size current and voltage to the motor, board, cooling, and wiring.
