Adafruit Latching Mini Relay FeatherWing

Description

A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the Latching Mini Relay FeatherWing. It gives you the power to control, and control overpower. 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.

They are two 'flavors' of these FeatherWings, this is the Latching relay. This one requires two pins, a SET, and UNSET and instead of keeping the SET pin high, you only have to pulse each pin high for 10ms to latch the relay open or closed. You need two pins but save power. Note, if power is lost, the relay will stay in the last setting.

The other type of relay FeatherWing is the simple Non-Latching relay, it requires only a single signal pin.

Both FeatherWings use the same family of relay. You can switch up to 2A of resistive current at 30VDC or ~40VAC or lower. At 110VDC you can switch up to 0.6A, at 120VAC up to 0.5A, and at 250VAC you can switch up to 0.3A. Check the datasheet for the relay for the exact switching capacity, and of course, for reactive/inductive loads you will need to derate. This isn't a relay you can use to turn on and off your washer/dryer, stick to 60W or less.

Each FeatherWing comes with a fully assembled and tested PCB, header you can use to attach to your feather. You also get a 3-pin terminal block you can use to wire up whatever you are going to be relay-controlling. Some light soldering is required.

Please note: If using with high voltages (> 24V) use care and common sense! High voltages require experience, and are only for use by engineers who are comfortable with guidelines and know how to use safely!

Also, the terminal blocks included with your product may be blue or black.
