Description

Relay Module 5V 8 Channel – This is an 8-channel relay board that operates on 5V. They can be used directly to control 240V power appliances from most of the microcontrollers and other control system circuits. Perfect for switching 240V appliances like lights, fans, etc.

The board has a high-quality relay, which can handle a maximum of 10A @ 250V or 15A @ 125V AC. Each Relay has three connections – Common – C, Normally Open-NO, and Normally Closed-NC brought out to 3 pin screw terminals which makes it easy to make and remove connections. The board has a power indication and a relay status LED to ease debugging. Power input and relay control signals are brought to header pins on the board.

Note: On the high-level and low-level-triggered mode, friends who do not understand, have a look

A high-level trigger refers to the signal voltage between input and trigger, can be understood as a signal input with VCC cathode short-circuit triggered away;
Low-level trigger refers to the signal voltage between the input terminal and Earth OV trigger, can be understood as the signal input terminal and the GND negative electrode short circuit triggered away 1-channel relay module connection.

Pin Description: Relay Board 5V 8 Channel

C=common: This is the common terminal. This terminal will be connected to either of the other 2 terminals (NO or NC) based on the state of the relay.
NO=normally open: As the name indicates this is a normally open terminal, i.e. if the relay is not energized (not ON), this pin will be open. We can say that the switch is OFF by default and when the relay is energized it will become ON.
NC=normally close: As the name indicates it is normally closed terminal, i.e. if the relay is not energized (not ON), this pin will be closed. We can say that the switch is ON by default and when the relay is energized it will become OFF.

How to Work on Relay Board 5V 8 Channel

The eight-channel can be used to switch multiple loads at the same time since there are eight relays on the same module. This is useful in creating a central hub from where multiple remote loads can be powered, which is useful for tasks like home automation where the module can be placed in the main switchboard and can be connected to loads in other parts of the house and can be controlled from a central location using a microcontroller.

Relay Module 5V 8 Channel

In this diagram, eight separate loads (represented by lightbulbs) have been connected to the NO terminals of the relay. The live wire has been connected to the common terminal of each relay. When the relays are activated, the load is connected to the live wire and is powered. This setup can be reversed by connecting the load to the NC terminal, which will keep it powered on till the
relay is activated.

Eight-Channel Relay Module Basic Troubleshooting:

If either of the relays does not turn on:
1. The contacts might be welded due to overcurrent/arcing. Shaking the module firmly might help unstick the contacts.
2. The driver circuitry might have been damaged due to overvoltage.
3. Input polarity might be incorrect.
4. Jumper might not have been moved to the correct position

1 x 8 Channel Isolated 5V 10A Relay Board Opto-coupler For Arduino PIC AVR DSP ARM

8-Channel Relay Board 5V – It is an 8 Channel Isolated 5V 10A Relay Module optocoupler, which can be controlled directly by a wide range of microcontrollers such as Arduino, AVR, PIC, ARM, PLC, etc. It is also able to control various appliances and other types of equipment with a large current. Relay output maximum contact is AC250V 10A and DC30V 10A. One can connect a microcontroller with a standard interface directly to it. Red working status indicator lights are conducive to safe use. The 8 Channel Isolated 5V 10A Relay Module optocoupler has a wide range of applications such as all MCU control, industrial sector, PLC control, and smart home control. So, ready to get switching on your Raspberry Pi?! This neat relay module features 8 x 12V relays rated at 10A/250V each. It is designed to switch up to 4 high currents (10A) or high voltage (250V) loads with the help of a microcontroller!

Each relay can individually switch to on/off state. It only requires a voltage of approx 1.0V to switch the inputs on but can handle input voltages up to 12V. This makes it ideal for 3.3V, 5V & 12V devices.
