Order cars & bikes online - source the right vehicle electronics fast
Working on a car or motorcycle electronics upgrade, telemetry fitment or a custom e-bike controller? Communica helps South African makers, students and workshops move from concept to road-ready faster by offering local stock of controller boards, sensors, connectors and test tools you actually need. Benefit from same-region availability, branch collection options and VAT invoicing for project budgets and procurement records.
Why local stock matters for vehicle projects
Ordering internationally for vehicle electronics often creates long lead times and uncertain customs delays - a problem when you need to finish a student project or repair a client vehicle. With a head office and warehouse in Samrand and branches in Pretoria and Cape Town, Communica reduces wait time and gives you predictable pickup and delivery choices.
- Immediate pickup from Samrand or branch collection to reduce downtime
- VAT invoices and account quoting for institutions and maintenance fleets
- Wide brand range to match OEM and maker parts for prototyping and repair
What vehicle electronics we stock and where to look
For wiring, sensors, power and prototyping parts explore relevant product categories and brands to find matched components without cross-border waits. Browse component groups to compare specs and compatibility.
Shop by category - power modules, connectors, sensors, and enclosures are grouped for rapid selection.
Shop by brand to match maker boards and accessories commonly used in vehicle projects.
Specification callouts you should check before ordering
Vehicle electronics require attention to voltage, current capability, connector pinout and environmental protection. Below is a compact comparison table to use when choosing power modules and motor controllers.
| Spec | Typical Range | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Input voltage | 5V to 48V | Mismatched voltage can damage controllers and sensors |
| Continuous current | 2A to 100A | Ensure sustained load capability for motors |
| Connector type | Screw, Molex, JST, M12 | Proper mating prevents vibration failures |
Quick compatibility guidance
Match supply voltage first, then check current headroom (recommended 25% margin on continuous current). For microcontroller integration, confirm logic levels (3.3V vs 5V) and CAN or UART pin assignments. When in doubt, compare datasheets and product pages on the site for pinouts and mechanical drawings.
