Single channel 12V Relay Breakout Board

This is 12V relay breakout board. Yet, it is kind of special because this is low level trigger 12V relay, or active low relay module. To control it , logic low, or 0V is needed. Normally it is being used together with NPN (Open drain) output sensor, e.g.:Panasonic (SUNX) Photoelectric Sensor – CX-422 (up to 800mm)Panasonic (SUNX) Photoelectric Sensor – CX-421 (up to 300mm)The relay module comes with three header pins:VCC = 12V, voltage needed to activate RelayGND = Common Ground, 0VIN = Control signal needed to be 0V to activate the Relay. 5V or 3.3V will also activate relay as it will sink current. NPN output will be good to control the relay.The relay terminals (COM, NO and NC) are brought out using screw terminals. On-board relay is rated at 10A. It can be used in many applications: controlling high voltage, high current load such as motor,. solenoid valves, lamps and AC load. It also come with 2 LEDs to indicate the status power (VCC) and status of relay.NOTE: This is an active low device, which means logic low (0V) at pin IN will trigger the relay.
