1-Channel Optocoupler Isolated Relay Module 10A (5V / 12V / 24V)
This versatile 1-Channel Relay Module is an essential interface board for controlling high-power electrical appliances, industrial machinery, and automation loads directly from low-voltage microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, STM32) or industrial controllers (PLCs). Equipped with optocoupler isolation and a user-selectable High/Low level trigger jumper, it delivers maximum protection for your control circuitry alongside exceptional signal compatibility.
Available in 5V, 12V, and 24V DC coil voltage variants, this module features a genuine Songle relay capable of switching loads up to 10A at 250V AC or 30V DC.
Key Features & Technical Highlights
-
Optocoupler Optical Isolation: Uses an onboard SMD optocoupler to completely isolate low-voltage control signals from high-voltage AC/DC output loads, shielding microcontrollers from inductive voltage spikes and electrical noise.
-
Selectable High/Low Level Trigger: Includes an onboard 3-pin jumper (COM – HIGH / LOW) allowing seamless switching between High-Level (VCC) and Low-Level (GND) signal triggering.
-
Dual LED Indicators:
-
Red Power LED (PWR): Indicates board power supply status.
-
Green Relay LED (LED1): Illuminates when the relay coil energizes and the contacts switch.
-
-
Fault-Tolerant Circuitry: Features a pull-down resistor circuit ensuring the relay remains un-triggered even if the signal line is left floating or broken.
-
Standard Screw Terminals: Equipped with sturdy screw terminals for quick, secure wiring on both control input and high-power output sides.

Terminal Pinout & Wiring Guide
Input Control Side (3-Pin Terminal Block)
-
DC+: Positive Power Supply (+5V, +12V, or +24V DC based on module variant).
-
DC-: Ground / Power Supply Negative (GND).
-
IN: Control Signal Trigger Input pin (connects to MCU GPIO, sensor output, or control switch).
High/Low Trigger Selection Jumper
-
Connect Jumper to ‘HIGH’: Sets the relay to trigger when the IN pin receives a HIGH logic signal (VCC).
-
Connect Jumper to ‘LOW’: Sets the relay to trigger when the IN pin receives a LOW logic signal (GND).
High-Power Output Side (3-Pin Screw Terminal)
-
NO (Normally Open): Connects to COM only when the relay is triggered/activated.
-
COM (Common): Common terminal connected to the incoming phase/live load wire.
-
NC (Normally Closed): Connected to COM when the relay is idle; disconnects when the relay is triggered.
Recommended Applications
-
Home & Building Automation: Controlling AC lights, ceiling fans, locks, and home appliances via microcontrollers.
-
Industrial Control: Interfacing 24V PLCs with solenoids, valves, contactors, and pumps.
-
IoT & Embedded Systems: Smart energy control projects using ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, or Arduino.
-
Motor & Heater Switching: Reversing small DC motors or toggling heating elements.
