SKU 2850-RPIRELEBOARDEAN 8219671078184Item type: Assembled, Shields & add-ons

Description

The RPi relay board is a compact add-on for the Raspberry Pi (A+ / B+ / 2B / 3B / 3B+) with 3 high-quality relays rated for loads up to 250 VAC/5 A and 30 VDC / 5 A, one optocoupler (PC817) per input, LEDs showing relay and power status, and 3 jumpers that let you drive the relays straight from the Raspberry Pi or from another device

The RPi Relay Board turns your Raspberry Pi into a powerful controller for electrical devices. With this board you can easily turn ordinary appliances into smart devices.

Key features:

  • Universal compatibility: Standard 40PIN GPIO extension connector for Raspberry Pi, compatible with every board in the Raspberry Pi series.
  • Optocoupler isolation: Effective protection against interference from high-voltage circuits.
  • LED indicators: Show the relay status in real time.
  • Flexible relay control: Thanks to the control jumpers you are free to use the default pins or your own to drive the relays.

What is on the RPi Relay Board:

  • Raspberry Pi GPIO interface for direct connection.
  • Relay screw terminals for wiring the target devices.
  • High-quality relays for reliable switching.
  • PC817 optocoupler for safe isolation.
  • Power indicator and relay control jumpers for easy, effective customisation.
