Review on πŸ”΄ Vogurtime 4 Ch 5V Relay Module w/ Optocoupler Isolation | High/Low Level Trigger | Red Relay Board by Doug Darling

Revainrating 1 out of 5

3.3V and 5V logic compatible

It's useful to have this 4 channel relay board as it works equally well with 3.3V and 5V logic (although the power supply itself has to be 5V). Also, you can configure each channel individually to trigger the relay either high or low. With the jumper in the L (low) position, the input line rises to around 4.3V, allowing for an open collector driver, while at 5V only 2mA is required to activate the relay. In the jumper position H (high) the relay pulls in at 1.7V and drops out again when the voltage drops below 1.5V like the fact that the board has been routed around an air gap around the common terminal of the relay to provide additional isolation between the high voltage and logic parts of the circuit.

Pros
  • Features a fail-safe design - even if the control line is broken, the relay will not operate.
Cons
  • Almost everything included
