1-Channel Wi-Fi Relay Module Base Board – 5V DC (Without ESP-01)
Take absolute control over your custom smart home ecosystem with the 1-Channel Wi-Fi Relay Module Base Board. Precision-engineered by Muonix, this hardware platform is designed for developers, system integrators, and makers who already own an ESP-01 / ESP-01S (ESP8266) transceiver and need a rugged, standalone board to interface safely with high-voltage mains equipment.
By removing the wireless chip from the package, this product provides an ultra-economical way to expand your existing component stock. Engineered under strict lead-free manufacturing guidelines, this board features optocoupled signal traces, flexible trigger selectors, and an onboard low-dropout voltage regulator to ensure clean execution under demanding, continuous industrial workloads.
Key Features
Dedicated ESP-01 Socket: Features a pre-mounted $2\times4$ female header on the board. Simply plug in your own ESP-01 or ESP-01S wireless transceiver to immediately bridge your high-voltage load to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Complete Optocoupler Isolation: Built with an onboard high-speed optocoupler that creates a physical light barrier between the wireless logic socket and the high-voltage lines, completely isolating your ESP8266 microchip from inductive spikes and back-EMF surges.
Flexible Trigger Logic: Equipped with an adjustable jumper pin setup that allows you to configure the system to trigger on a High-Level Trigger or a Low-Level Trigger signal to match your specific code configuration.
Advanced Voltage Step-Down: Features a highly efficient onboard low-dropout (LDO) regulator that steps down the incoming 5V DC supply into a clean, noise-free 3.3V power rail required to run the ESP-01 processor safely.
Status Indicators: Includes two bright diagnostic LEDs—one serving as a dedicated Power Indicator and the other providing instant visual verification whenever the relay channel is actively closed.

Lead-Free & Soldering Safety
100% Lead-Free PCB: The base circuit board is constructed from eco-friendly, lead-free materials, aligning fully with global industrial safety and environmental practices.
Factory Pre-Soldered Components: All heavy-duty terminal blocks, optocoupler footprints, and power traces are mounted using high-grade, lead-free solder wire to ensure optimal electrical conductivity.
Enhanced Thermal Strength: The premium lead-free solder joints offer superior resistance against crystallization and structural drying, even when cycling heavy 10A electrical loads over extended periods.
🛡️ Compliance Note: Fully RoHS Compliant & Lead-Free architecture. This ensures a clean, non-toxic hardware profiling that is completely safe for educational engineering workshops, academic university labs, smart home enclosures, and commercial automation control panels.
Hardware Wiring & Pin Layout
The module features a highly organized layout to keep low-voltage signals clearly separated from high-voltage wiring:
1. Logic Control Input (Header Pins):
VCC: Connects to your +5V DC power source.
GND: System ground reference pin.
IN1: Trigger control line. Pulling this line HIGH or LOW (depending on your jumper setup) toggles the relay.
2. High-Voltage Load Output (3-Way Screw Terminal):
NO (Normally Open): The circuit stays disconnected/open until a wireless Wi-Fi command triggers the relay to close.
NC (Normally Closed): The circuit stays connected/closed by default until wireless logic triggers it to open.
COM (Common Terminal): The central main power wire from your load connects directly here.
Common Applications
Existing Stock Expansion: The most cost-efficient choice if you already have spare pre-programmed ESP-01 chips on hand and need to expand your hardware automation setup.
Smart Home Infrastructure: Fits inside standard junction boxes to build custom smart switches, connected lamps, and remote appliance reset buttons.
Wireless Access Controllers: Wire the output contacts directly to solenoid door locks or motorized gates to toggle security access over Wi-Fi.
Safety Warning: Working with high-voltage 220V–240V AC mains lines carries an inherent risk of electrical shock. Always ensure your main power breakers are completely turned off before cutting, stripping, or securing wires to the screw terminal blocks.
