What is a Relay?

A Relay is a digital switch to control much higher voltages and currents than your normal Arduino boards does. When inputs a logic voltage, the relay will switch to allow current to flow or cutoff, depending on your wiring. A Relay usually consists of a coil, 1 common terminal, 1 normally closed terminal and one normally open terminal. When the coil is energized, the common terminal and the normally open terminal will have continuity.

Why to use a Relay?

Anytime you want to switch on/off a device which draws more current or works with a high voltage, you’ll need to use a relay, such as controlling of headlights, parking lights, horns, etc.

Product Description

This 6 Channel 12V Relay Module with Optocoupler meets the safety standard as control areas and load area have the isolation groove. Optical coupling isolation module.

The triggering of the 6 Road/Channel Relay Module is reliable, more stable. The double FR4 circuit board design, high-end SMT process. It has power and relay operation instructions. Relays terminals (C, NC, NO) are accessible through screw terminals which makes wiring up the board very easy.

The inputs of the 8Channel 12VRelay Module are isolated to protect any delicate control circuitry.

A wide range of microcontrollers such as Arduino, AVR, PIC, ARM and so on can control it.

The use of such high-voltage relay eliminates the risk of heating up of the relay as electromechanical relay limit the current consumption in accordance with a voltage rating.
