SPDT 12v 10amp 5 Pin Relay

The 5 Pin 12VDC DC 12V Coil Relay is an electrical component used to control high current circuits with low power signals. It has a 12V DC coil that activates the relay when a low voltage signal is applied. This relay has five pins, including a common pin, normally open (NO) pin, and normally closed (NC) pin. The 5 Pin 12VDC DC 12V Coil Relay is ideal for use in automotive, industrial, and household applications. It is a reliable and durable relay that provides efficient and effective performance. With its easy installation and use,

SPDT 12V 10A 5-Pin Relay

The SPDT 12V 10A 5-Pin Relay is a compact, high-performance electromechanical switch that allows microcontrollers to control high-current AC or DC devices. With a 12V DC coil and a 10A contact rating, this relay is widely used in automated switching applications, home automation, robotics, and DIY electronics.

SPDT stands for Single Pole Double Throw, meaning the relay can connect a common terminal to one of two others (normally open or normally closed), offering flexibility in controlling devices based on the input signal. It is ideal for logic-level controllers like Arduino, ESP8266, and Raspberry Pi.

Microcontroller Compatibility:

This relay can be triggered using logic signals from Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards. Often used with relay driver modules, it allows safe interfacing between low-voltage controllers and high-voltage appliances.

Precautions:

Use a flyback diode when switching inductive loads to prevent damage.
Ensure isolation from high-voltage circuits when used on breadboards.
Avoid switching loads beyond 10A without a heat sink or external protection.
Never connect AC loads directly to microcontroller pins – always use relay drivers.
Use in a well-ventilated, dry environment.
