2 Channel 5V Relay Module

2 Channel 5V Relay Module

10A AC 250V DC 30V Optocoupler Isolation Switch Automation Smart Home Motor Control

     It is a 2 channel relay module that can be triggered with DC 5V. It is designed for the control of external AC or DC loads in microcontroller and automation projects. There are 2 pcs JQC3F-5VDC-C relays on the board. It can be used directly with control boards such as Arduino, esp, raspberry pi.

     The J1 jumper on it allows you to select the connection between the relay coil supply and the control logic supply. In this way, you can easily switch between standard and isolated operating modes.

J1 Jumper explanation:

When J1 is installed: The relay coil and the control logic circuit are powered by the same 5V source. It provides simple use with a single power supply.

When J1 is removed: A separate 5V supply can be applied for the relay coil. In this case, the control logic circuit operates isolated over the optocoupler; the microcontroller side and the power side are separated. This is useful for isolating effects such as noise, switching fluctuations and current draw from the control circuit. This structure makes not only the trigger level but also the power architecture selectable and provides an advantage especially in systems requiring isolation.

Warnings:

• In long term use, 7-8A should not be exceeded. Relay contacts may stick. 
• The contact structure of the relays is mechanical; it is not suitable for high frequency switching.
• Insulation and safety precautions must definitely be taken when used with AC mains.
• The J1 jumper setting must be used in the correct position according to the system architecture; incorrect connection may cause supply problems.

Pin descriptions:

•    VCC: 5V
