Gikfun 12V DC Dosing Pump AE1207 – Peristaltic Head with Connector for Arduino, Aquarium & Lab DIY

Overview

The Gikfun AE1207 is a compact 12V DC dosing pump head built around a peristaltic mechanism, designed to support small liquid handling tasks in Arduino projects, home aquariums, and light lab or DIY demonstrations. The snap‑in pump head makes removal and cleaning straightforward, while its slim profile helps keep tubing tidy and aligned during operation. This setup invites experimentation, allowing you to explore precise liquid transfer without committing to complex systems.

Core specifications you can rely on

• Motor RPM: 5000
• Voltage: DC 12V
• Flow rate: 0 to 100 ml/min
• Tubing size: 2 mm ID x 4 mm OD
• Relative humidity tolerance: < 80%

Design advantages and practical benefits

• Snap‑in design simplifies pump head removal for tube replacement and cleaning
• Compact form minimizes hose movement and common hose kink issues found in some press type heads
• Versatile for a range of lightweight liquid handling tasks, from hobby projects to educational demonstrations
• Compatibility with a variety of DIY setups, including Arduino projects and basic analytic or lab-style experiments

Usage scenarios and setup ideas

Ideal for family watering experiments, small‑volume liquid dispensing in educational environments, and light transport of non‑corrosive liquids. Pair the AE1207 with a suitable drive unit to automate timed dosing, or integrate into a microcontroller project for controlled, repeatable transfers. Its compatibility with 2 mm ID tubing supports compact, low‑volume workflows where precision matters.

Important notes

• Not recommended for prolonged continuous use without appropriate duty cycling and monitoring
• The drive unit is not included in this listing and must be purchased separately for operation
