The Arduino 4 Relays Shield is a solution for driving high power loads that cannot be controlled by Arduino's digital IOs, due to the current and voltage limits of the controller. The Shield features four relays, each relay provides 2 pole changeover contacts (NO and NC); in order to increase the current limit of each output, the 2 changeover contacts have been put in parallel. Four LEDs indicate the on/off state of each relay.
Getting Started
You can find in the Getting Started section all the information you need to configure your board, use the Arduino Software (IDE), and start tinker with coding and electronics..

Power
The shield doesn't need external power: it will be provided by the base board, through the 5V and 3.3V pins of the Arduino board used as base. Input and Output The relays are controlled by the following Arduino board pins: Relay 1 = Arduino pin 4 Relay 2 = Arduino pin 7 Relay 3 = Arduino pin 8 Relay 4 = Arduino pin 12 The shield features several TinkerKit input/output and communication interfaces. Connecting TinkerKit modules can simplify the creation of a project or a prototype. The on-board connectors are:
Physical Characteristics
The maximum length and width of the 4 Relays Shield PCB are 2.7 and 2.1 inches respectively. Four screw holes allow the Shield to be attached to a surface or case. Note that the distance between digital pins 7 and 8 is 160 mil (0.16"), not an even multiple of the 100 mil spacing of the other pins.
Compatible Boards
The shield is compatible with all the Arduino boards, 5V and also 3.3V standards.
