Power Relay FeatherWing

Description

A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the Power Relay FeatherWing. It gives you power to control, and control over power. Put simply, you can now turn on and off lamps, fans, solenoids, and other small appliances that run on up to 250VAC or DC power using any Feather board. Compared to our smaller Relay FeatherWings, this one can handle a beefy 1200 Watts!

Using our Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you can connect a FeatherWing on top of your Feather board and let the board take flight. Check out our range of Feather boards here.

This Wing has a non-latching type relay. You can switch up to 10A of resistive-load current at 120VAC, 5A at 240VAC. With inductive loads, about half that. Check the datasheet for the relay for the exact switching capacity, as it depends on type of load and voltage type and magnitude. This relay is good for handling fairly large devices, computers, TVs, small appliances and more.

Each FeatherWing comes with a fully assembled and tested PCB, header you can use to attach to your Feather. By soldering closed the jumper on the underside of the Wing you can select which pin you want to use for the relay control. Some light soldering is required.

Power network - Safety recommendation

You must be aware of the danger of high voltage when using this FeatherWing. A part of your projet will be wired to the power network and expose some contacts and trace to the power network voltage (220V AC in Belgium and France). This may be quite dangerous if you do not have the appropriate skill to manage such kind of connexion.
Be aware that accidental contact may hurt you, burn your skin and cause death in the worste case!

So take care yourself.

IF you do not have the appropriate skill THEN contact someone which has it.

You should place your project/assembly in a container/box to avoids accidental human contact. Once finished, your project should be in a safe place (ex: closed box suited for electrical componants).
