⚙️ How the 5V 10A Relay Module Works
The 5V 10A Relay Module works by using a small 5V signal from a microcontroller to energize the internal relay coil. When activated:
-
The relay coil becomes magnetized.
-
Internal contacts switch position.
-
The connected load circuit is turned ON or OFF.
This allows safe control of devices such as:
-
Lights
-
Fans
-
Pumps
-
Motors
-
AC appliances
-
Heaters
-
Industrial equipment
The relay module provides isolation between the low-voltage control side and high-voltage load side, ensuring safety in automation systems.
