A tutorial for making circuit using a circuit board that will provide versatility as well as save you time and labor.
This image shows the amplifier as it comes from the manufacturer.
You can make your connections directly to the amplifier and then mount it as you wish in your control panel.
This shows how it should be wired.
The L and R connection points correspond to the speaker – and speaker +, respectively, on the mini player.
For maximum volume, attach 8 ohm speakers.
Circuit Board Mounted
Rather than soldering leads directly to the amplifier, I prefer to make connections through screw terminals. Because adding the screw terminals directly to the amplifier covers pin identification and more, but I find it more convenient to use a circuit board on which screw terminal connectors are mounted because it makes wiring much easier and mounting is simple. The mounting holes are a convenient 3.5 mm in diameter.
On the side labeled OUT, you connect two speakers.The L and R connection points correspond to the speaker – and speaker +, respectively, 8 ohm 3 watt speakers give maximum volume.
S= and S- are connected to the = and – connections on the mini player.
The +5v and – points are connected to the corresponding points on the mini player.

Features
- Monaural Or Stereo Amplification – The df Mini can output stereo sounds. This amplifier allows amplification of each of the channels.
- Enhanced Audio Quality – The combination of a DFPlayer Mini and a 5-volt amplifier can significantly enhance the audio quality of your project. The amplifier boosts the audio signal, resulting in a cleaner and more powerful sound output. This is particularly useful when working with small speakers or in projects where audio clarity is crucial.
- Improved Volume Control – By incorporating a 5-volt amplifier, you gain better control over the volume levels of your project. The amplifier allows you to adjust the sound output to match your preferences and the specific requirements of your project environment.
- Compatibility and Ease of Use -Many hobbyist projects involve microcontrollers and electronic components that operate at 5 volts. Integrating a 5-volt amplifier aligns perfectly with these systems, eliminating the need for additional voltage conversion circuits. This compatibility simplifies the wiring and integration process, making your project development smoother.
- Reduced Noise and Interference – Amplifying audio signals at a higher voltage can help reduce the impact of noise and interference that may be introduced during signal transmission. This results in a cleaner and more enjoyable audio experience, particularly when working in environments with potential electronic interference.
- Suitability for Small-Scale Projects -The compact nature of both the DFPlayer Mini and 5-volt amplifiers makes them ideal for small-scale projects where space is limited. Whether you’re creating a portable speaker system, an interactive installation, or a customized sound effects device, this combination offers efficient performance in a small footprint.
- Versatility in Project Applications – The pairing of a 5-volt amplifier and a DFPlayer Mini lends itself to a wide range of applications. From educational projects and creative installations to interactive artworks and audio-enhanced prototypes, this combination opens doors to a plethora of possibilities.
