This versatile 1 Channel AC Relay Module offers a low 2.25V pick-up voltage, making it ideal for use with both 5V and 3.3V Microcontrollers!
In the world of small scale electrical work – or Electronics to be more specific – we often find ourselves having to control circuits and wrangle electrons through the use of Transistors and other forms of switches. However, while this is relatively easy and par for the course, it becomes a lot more tricky when you want to integrate larger electrical devices into your low-voltage circuits – especially if you want to keep the AC and DC sides isolated from each other.
Fortunately, specialised devices like these 1 Channel 3V Relay Modules make it as simple as can be, and are built to handle up to 10A 250V AC, allowing you to integrate larger AC-powered devices into DC-circuits, so that you can finally control your ceiling fan via remote control, or integrate strong motors and other high-power components into lightweight home automation. These modules feature a really handy 2.25V coil pick-up voltage, which means that they can be natively used alongside both 5V and 3.3V microcontrollers, with a convenient Gravity Series 3-Pin Digital interface for sheer convenience and ease-of-use.
Although it is technically possible to use these relay modules for DC applications, they are primarily designed for AC, and as such, we suggest that you use them only for AC applications. However, if you’re looking for DC or AC/DC relays in varying control capacities and with multiple channels, be sure to check out our entire Relay Modules Category to find the ideal relays to cater to your needs.
