At 26 Ohms per phase, this is considered a high-resistance stepper . Most modern stepper drivers (like A4988 or TMC2209) operate optimally at 1.5 – 2.0 Ohms. Therefore, the BJ42D15 is not intended for standard "chopper" drivers running on 12V. Instead, it is designed for L/R drive circuits or constant voltage drivers using 26V DC.
