2 Channel 5V Relay Module 5AMP

This 2 Channel 5V Relay Module is a set of single-pole double-throw relays rated for a maximum of 10A/250VAC or 10A/30VDC, and is ideal for controlling large AC or DC loads with Development Platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The relays accept a both 5V and 3V control inputs from Arduino Shields and boards, and help to protect users and other components from electrical leakage or faults. This of course is important when operating high current parts like motors, solenoids or electromagnets, as electrical leakage can not only potentially harm a user, but can also destroy other components that aren’t designed to handle high current or voltage.

This relay module was designed with ultimate protection in mind, and even the 12V coils within the relays are isolated with their own GND connection, which not only provides optical isolation, but a total galvanic isolation as well. And if you don’t quite understand what that means, just know that it can completely isolate and protect both you and your controlling circuit from potentially dangerous or even deadly electrical leakage.

Additionally, rather than having your entire system connected together (With everything receiving an electrical overload at the same time) these relays isolate high voltage and high current circuits to protect other components within a system as well.

Typical Applications for the 2 Channel 5V Relay Module 5AMP:

While this 2 Channel 5V Relay Module is designed to be used within small to medium projects involving Arduino Boards or other development platforms, its capabilities allow it to be used for almost any application between 20mA and 10A and up to 250VAC or 30VDC. As such, these relays can act as the actuators for solenoids, AC or DC Motors, electromagnets, incandescent light bulbs, or many other parts typically found within an engineer’s or hobbyist’s workshop.

So consider acquiring one of these Arduino-compatible relay modules to help protect you and your important or expensive components and equipment from faults, mistakes or electrical mishaps. With so many features at such an affordable price, it’s easy to see why these are some of our most popular Electromechanical Relays in stock.
