The Pololu basic 2-channel relay carrier modules allow simple, independent control of two single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches from low-voltage, low-current control signals.

This item includes the basic carrier PCB with two soldered-in 5 V relays, 5.0 mm terminal blocks for the switch connections, and straight 0.1" male header for the control connections. The included power relays are Omron G5LE-14-DC5 and are rated for up to 10 A under most conditions.

The carrier board has four mounting holes that work with #4 or M3 screws.

Using the relay modules

The switch portion of the relays are accessible on one side of the board while the control pins are routed to the other. The relay coils are powered by supplying the appropriate coil voltage for your specific relays across the VDD and GND pins, and they are activated by digital high control signals on their respective EN pins. The control signals are fed directly to the BSS138 N-channel MOSFETs, which in turn actuate the relay coils when the signal voltage exceeds approximately 2.5 V, up to a maximum of 20 V (see BSS138 datasheet (92k pdf) for details). The control pins are arranged to allow for several connection options: a single 1×4 cable can be used to supply coil power and the two control signals, or two 1×3 cables (such as servo cables) can be used side-by-side (one for each relay).

The relay switch terminals COM (common), NO (normally open), and NC (normally closed) are routed on the PCB with a minimum clearance of 60 mils (1.5 mm) from other copper and the edges of the board, though manufacturing variations in the board edges can make those distances slightly lower.

In most applications, the current and voltage ratings for the module will match the ratings of the relay used. Maximum current, maximum voltage, and life expectancy are interdependent; we therefore recommend careful examination of your relay’s datasheet.

Warning: This product is not designed to or certified for any particular high-voltage safety standard. Working with voltages above 30 V can be extremely dangerous and should only be attempted by qualified individuals with appropriate equipment and protective gear.

Optional DC barrel jack

The carrier board makes it possible to optionally power the relays from a DC barrel jack (not included). The DC barrel jack can be placed in three configurations (the jack can also be installed in one configuration on the bottom side of the PCB).
