This is the 5V relay most commonly used as switching device in electronic circuits. It is mainly used in Commonly switching circuits, For Home Automation projects to switch AC loads, To Control (On/Off) Heavy loads at a pre-determined time/condition, Used in safety circuits to disconnect the load from supply in event of failure, Used in Automobiles electronics for controlling indicators glass motors.

 Product Description

To use this relay module first you have to decide whether you want to connect or disconnect your load when relay is operated. Connect the load across Common and NC terminal if you want to disconnect the load when relay is operated or across Common and NO terminal if you want to connect the load when relay is operated. As the coil trigger voltage is 5V, you can connect it to any GPIO pin of 5V operating Arduino like UNO or MEGA or you can use any battery above 5V to operate the relay too.

Applications:

• Mainly used in switching circuits.
• Home Automation projects to switch AC loads
• In Controlling Heavy loads at a pre-determined time/condition
• Safety circuits to disconnect the load from supply in event of failure
• Used in Automobiles electronics for controlling indicators, glass motors etc.

Note: Appearance might be difference from the picture shown.
