1-Channel 5V Relay Module, Active Low Trigger
The 1-Channel 5V Relay Module (Active Low) provides an easy and reliable solution for controlling high-voltage AC or DC loads with low-power control signals. It operates using a 5V supply voltage, making it fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, PIC, AVR, and other microcontrollers.
This module uses an active low trigger input, meaning the relay switches when the input pin is pulled low. It integrates an opto-isolator to protect the microcontroller from voltage spikes and a flyback diode across the coil to prevent back-EMF damage. Its compact design makes it suitable for DIY projects, automation systems, and industrial control setups where reliable switching of appliances or devices is required.
