2 CHANNEL SOLID STATE RELAY MODULE

Description

The Whadda two-channel Solid State Relay (SSR) module can be used to quickly and efficiently switch AC loads on and off without using any moving parts (e.g. like a classic electromechanical relay).

The SSR module uses a phototriac to provide a galvanic isolation between the logic level side and the AC load side. Both channels can be switched on by providing a LOW logic level signal (0 – 1,5 V), and off by providing a HIGH logic level signal (3 – 5 V) to its corresponding channel signal input.

Note that this module can ONLY SWITCH AC CURRENTS, up to a maximum of 2 A, with a maximum voltage of 240 V AC. Trying to use this module to switch DC loads or exceeding the specified limits can damage the module and/or your connected devices!

Features

• Reliable AC switching: Switch AC devices reliably without moving parts.
• Safe isolation: Uses optocoupler technology to ensure safe isolation between switching logic and the AC high voltage side.
• 2 channels: Provides the ability to independently control various AC devices.
• STEM project: Develop and improve your STEM skills and acquire the knowledge, skills and experience needed to face the technological challenges of the future with this educational kit. This educational kit will trigger a number of processes such as problem-solving, investigative and creative thinking.
• Made in Belgium : Whadda is a unique brand from Belgium’s Velleman Group that offers DIY projects for hobbyists or makers who want to immerse themselves in electronics, programming and mechanics.
