This relay module consists of 1 relays. Each relay is connected to a current buffer so that you can connect them directly to a Microcontroller or Arduino.
Using these relays you can easily control high power devices or appliances using arduino or microcontrollers, the relay is rated for 230V 10Amps.
Specifications
Rating: 10A (250V AC or 30 V DC)
Input (Control) voltage: 5V DC
