Description
The eight-channel relay module contains eight 5V relays and the associated switching and isolating components, which makes interfacing with a microcontroller or sensor easy with minimum components and connections. Each relay on the board has the same circuit, and the input ground is common to all eight channels.
The eight-channel can be used to switch multiple loads at the same time since there are eight relays on the same module. This is useful in creating a central hub from where multiple remote loads can be powered, which is useful for tasks like home automation where the module can be placed in the main switchboard and can be connected to loads in other parts of the house and can be controlled from a central location using a microcontroller.
