Description of ⚡ Waveshare Raspberry Pi Power Relay Board Expansion Module - Three Channel (3-ch) for Raspberry Pi A+/B+/2B/3B/3B+/4B - Capable of Handling Loads up to 250VAC/5A, 30VDC/5A

Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards. High quality relays, loads up to 5A 250V AC or 5A 30V DC. Photo coupling isolation, prevent interference from high voltage circuit. Onboard LEDs for indicating relays status; Relay control jumper, allows to control the relays by custom pins other than the default pins

Best relay hat, hands down.

FINALLY! I have tried many relay boards and relay hats. Others that could handle 5 amps had terminals that accepted 24 AWG wire. Those that could handle 14 AWG wire had circuit boards that could handle 2 amps (with a 10 amp relay). This handles 5 amps and will handle 14 AWG wire with ease. Love it!

Pros

Top marks for support and durability from testers

Cons

Vulgarity

Solid Hat Computer Components

A solid little relay board, well built. Provides a pass-through expansion port. Be careful with too long relay solder connections on the underside of the board as they can short out if they touch the Pi - it's best to use spacers or insulators.
