Product Description
The 5V Sugar Cube Relay is a compact electromechanical switch designed specifically for low-voltage automation and control systems. Operating at a 5V coil voltage, it is the premier choice for developers working with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi logic controllers. This SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) relay allows for the switching of high-power circuits between two output states, making it a critical component for DIY smart home projects, automated irrigation systems, and various IoT industrial applications. Its miniature "sugar cube" footprint ensures it occupies minimal space on a PCB while handling significant electrical loads.
Detailed Key Features
Microcontroller Compatible: Optimised for 5V logic systems, simplifying power delivery from standard development board voltage rails.
High-Load Switching: Despite its small size, it safely manages loads up to 10A at 250V AC, suitable for lighting, solenoid valves, and small motors.
Flexible Logic Configuration: Includes Common (COM), Normally Open (NO), and Normally Closed (NC) pins for versatile "on-default" or "off-default" circuit designs.
Durable Silver Alloy Contacts: Engineered to resist pitting and contact welding, ensuring reliable operation over thousands of mechanical cycles.
Industry Standard Layout: Features a standard 5-pin layout that fits breadboards (via adapters) and standard PCB footprint libraries.
