Equipped with LED indicators and compliant with safety standards, it ensures reliable performance in any application. ## Description Product description 5V 4-channel relay interface board each channel needs a 15-20mA driver current. It can be used to control various appliances and equipment with large current. It is equiped with high-current relays that work under AC250V 10A or DC30V 10A. It has a standard interface that can be controlled directly by microcontroller. Perfect used for domestic appliance, office machine, audio, equipment, automobile, etc. （Remote control TV receiver, monitor display, Audio,Raspberry Pi equipment high rushing current use application） Principle When the signal port is at low level, the signal light will light up and the optocoupler 817c (it transforms electrical signals by light and can isolate input and output electrical signals) will conduct, and then the transistor will conduct, the relay coil will be electrified, and the normally open contact of the relay will be closed. When the signal port is at high level, the normally closed contact of the relay will be closed. So you can connect and disconnect the load by controlling the level of the control signal port. Review: Good relay board. - Bought this relay board to make a remote control for physically disconnecting a comm bus at a remote site to allow for troubleshooting. It works well being controlled with an arduino.

Try using 7v for supply voltage. **Q: what does the jumper do?** A: You can remove the jumper to provide a different power supply (JD-VCC) to the relay actuation circuit from the one used by the host controller and to the LED side of the optocouplers. According to the relay spec, the nominal current draw is 71mA, and if for a 8 relay board that would be 568mA, and if you turn on all 8 relays simultaneously, you'll need 2-3 time more to achieve the latency. **Q: Just purchased one of these. Can I hook it directly to the Raspberry Pi or do I need to use a Mosfet or Opto Isolator?** A: Based on the picture, this 2 relay shield already has opto isolators for both relays (that is what the two 4 pin modules are). Raspberry Pi uses 3.3V and this uses 5V, so you may want to use a level shifter (or an NPN transistor with two resistors) to keep from overloading the Pi output. **Q: Is this a mechanical relay or an SSR? I am looking for something that will not make an audible sound when switching, and can provide very fast respons** A: It's a mechanical relay and makes a click, but it is not very loud. There are ssr "relays" available. Make sure to use a good heat sink if you need to switch any real current. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good relay board. *by F***O on February 25, 2026* Bought this relay board to make a remote control for physically disconnecting a comm bus at a remote site to allow for troubleshooting.
