Tamiya 76002 0.5V-1200mAH CY602 - Compact Solar Cell for Hands-On Learning

The Tamiya 76002 Solar Battery offers 0.5V at 1200mAH and is intended for practical STEM activities and small-scale experiments. Its design makes it easy to attach to Tamiya solar mechanics sets and similar maker projects.

Project Uses and Compatibility Notes

This unit is ideal for demonstrations of renewable power, small motor tests and circuit exercises. It fits readily into many kit layouts and provides a clear example of solar energy in use.

Getting Reliable Results in Experiments

When used in student labs or weekend workshops, the battery enables observation of voltage changes under different light conditions and supports learning about basic circuit behaviour and energy flow.

Specifications

  • Voltage: 0.5V
  • Capacity: 1200mAH
  • Material: High-quality solar cells

Can I use this in outdoor demonstrations?

Yes, it performs well outdoors in bright sun and is a good choice for showing solar-to-electric conversion at fairs and open-air sessions.

Does it need extra wiring to fit kits?

Most Tamiya kits accept the cell directly, but simple adapter leads can help integrate it into custom setups or to connect multiple cells.

How long will it power a small motor?

Run time depends on sunlight intensity and motor draw; in strong sun it will sustain low-power motors for practical demo lengths, but heavier loads will reduce performance.

Any care tips to extend life?

Avoid leaving the cell in damp conditions and clean the surface gently to keep output efficient. Store in moderate light if possible to prevent deep discharge.
