Tarot TL2962 PWM Electronic Payload Thrower for Drones

The Tarot TL2962 is an electronic payload thrower that releases a load from a drone on command. It reads a standard PWM servo signal, so it can be driven from a spare receiver channel mapped to a switch or from a flight controller servo output.

Key features

• CNC-machined from 6063 aircraft aluminium and 304 stainless steel
• Mechanical lever design reduces the drive power needed, and the articulated lever does not jam under load; Tarot reports smooth release after a 43 kg extreme-load test
• Several throwers can be mounted on one airframe and released independently, in any sequence
• Status LED: steady red while closed, one green flash as it releases (then steady green), red blinking twice a second when no PWM signal is detected

Specifications

• Operating voltage: 5–12 V
• Control: standard PWM servo signal
• Release logic: 0–59% travel holds; 60–100% travel releases
• Dimensions: 78.5 × 48 × 18 mm
• Weight: 91.5 g

Assign the thrower to a switch whose resting position sits below 60% travel so it cannot fire by accident, and test the drop on the ground before flying with a load.
