## Description

Following the success of Monk Makes Relay for [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-by-bbc.html), we are pleased to announce the launch of the MonkMakes SSR (solid state relay). The MonkMakes SSR is a low voltage solid state relay (no moving parts). This makes it super-easy to control AC or DC loads of up to 2A at 16V from an [Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/arduino.html), [Raspberry Pi ](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi.html)or other [3 or 5V microcontroller.](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=micro+controllers)

The modern alternative to an electromechanical relay designed for Makers and Hobbyists.

This relay can be used to switch low voltage devices such as light bulbs, a motor, a small heating element or even a string of 12V LED lighting. The voltage needs to be kept under 16V, but the relay will automatically protect itself against too much current.

- Solid-sate relay up to 2 Amp Peak 1A continuous AC/DC
- Active LED indicator
- Resettable ‘polyfuse’ to protect against over-current
- Great for Arduino and Raspberry Pi
- Suitable for low-frequency PWM
