Relays consist of a solenoid which can be driven from a smaller signal to make a physical connection between switch contacts.
Sometimes relays can have weird footprints, or require some extra components to interface with a microcontroller, that's what relay modules are for!
A versatile, compact relay board that can drive up to 10A @28VDC while only drawing approximately 60mA at 5V.
A versatile relay board with opto-isolated inputs. Each channel can switch up to 10A @28VDC
Solid state relays use special electronics components to create the same functionality of a relay but without the electromechanical components.
This breakout module gives you access to a single channel solid state relay that can be switched with 3-5VDC
This breakout module gives you access to a 2 channel solid state relay that can be switched with 3-5VDC
This breakout module gives you access to a 4 channel solid state relay that can be switched with 3-5VDC
This breakout module gives you access to a 8 channel solid state relay that can be switched with 3-5VDC
A solid state relay (SSR) allows you to control high-current AC loads from lower voltage DC control circuitry...
