Wiring Connections
- Power:
-
- VCC: Connect to a 5V power source. This powers the relay coil.
- GND: Connect to the ground of your power source.
- Control:
-
- IN: Connect to a digital output pin of your microcontroller (like Arduino) to control the relay.
- Relay Contacts:
-
- COM (Common): This is the common connection of the relay. Connect it to one terminal of the device you want to control.
- NO (Normally Open): Connect this to the other terminal of the device. When the relay is activated, it will connect COM to NO.
Power
- Input Voltage:
- VCC: Requires a 5V DC power supply.
- Current Consumption:
- Relay Coil: Typically around 70-100mA when activated.
- Relay Contacts: Can handle up to 10A of current at 250V AC.
Input and Output
- Input:
-
- Control Signal: Requires a 5V DC logic signal to activate the relay.
- Output:
-
- Relay Contacts: Can switch AC or DC loads up to the relay’s rated current (typically 10A).
Physical Characteristics
- Dimensions: Approximately 50mm x 30mm.
- Mounting: Includes mounting holes for easy installation on a surface or within an enclosure.
- PCB Material: Typically FR-4 or similar.
Technical Specifications
- Relay Switching Voltage: 250V AC / 30V DC (maximum rating).
- Relay Switching Current: 10A (AC) / 15A (DC) at rated voltage.
- Control Signal Voltage: 5V DC logic level.
Additional Features
- Optocoupler Isolation: Protects the control circuit from high voltage spikes.
- Status LED: Helps in visual verification of the relay status (on/off).
- Reverse Polarity Protection: Some modules include protection against incorrect power connections.
How to Use
- Power the Module:
-
- Connect the VCC pin to a 5V power supply.
- Connect the GND pin to the ground of your power supply.
- Connect Control Signal:
-
- Connect the IN pin to a digital output pin on your microcontroller (such as Arduino). This pin will control whether the relay is on or off.
- Wire Your Device:
-
- Connect one terminal of your device to the COM pin.
- Connect the other terminal of your device to the NO pin.
- Control the Relay:
-
- To turn on the relay, set the digital output pin to HIGH (5V). The relay will close the connection between COM and NO, turning on the device connected.
- To turn off the relay, set the digital output pin to LOW (0V). The relay will open the connection between COM and NO, turning off the device.
- Verify Operation:
-
- Observe the onboard LED to confirm the relay’s status. When the relay is activated, the LED will typically light up.
The 1-Channel 5V Relay Board Module is ideal for controlling high voltage devices with low voltage signals, making it a valuable component for various automation and control applications. Its ease of use and robust features make it a popular choice for hobbyists and engineers alike.
