## Description

The Relay Shield allows you to control any normal outlet or high voltage product from anywhere. The shield comes with four relays that are rated at a max of 220V @10Amp allowing you to control electric appliances rated at under 2000 Watts.

Note that you \*will\* need a DC adapter to power the relays!

Specs:

- Operating voltage: 7 to 15V DC
- Current consumption: 150mA min to 290mA (at 9V DC)
- Relay Max Voltage: 220V AC
- Relay Max Current: 10Amp at 125V AC
- Compatible with both the Core and the Photon.
 
Don't mess around with 240VAC unless you are qualified to do so.
