2-Channel Relay Module – 5V DC 10A (Through-Hole / TH)
Take smart control over your household and industrial electrical appliances with the 2-Channel 5V 10A Relay Module. Precision-engineered for automated systems, this module acts as a safe, heavy-duty bridge between low-power microcontrollers and high-current mains equipment.
Featuring two independently controlled isolation channels, this board allows your 5V microcontrollers to switch dual electrical loads—such as lights, fans, pumps, solenoids, or heaters—up to 240V AC or 30V DC. Built using rugged through-hole (TH) technology and assembled with strict lead-free manufacturing practices, it provides excellent thermal stability, thick power tracing, and superior structural durability under prolonged switching workloads.
Key Features
Dual-Channel Multi-Tasking: Control up to 2 separate electrical loads completely independently from a single microcontroller board using minimal digital I/O lines.
Complete Optocoupler Isolation: Equipped with onboard high-speed optocouplers that create a physical light barrier between the control logic and high-voltage rails, protecting your Arduino or Raspberry Pi from inductive kickbacks and voltage surges.
Flexible Trigger Logic: Designed with an adjustable jumper setting that allows you to easily switch between High-Level Trigger or Low-Level Trigger logic to match your software architecture.
Robust Through-Hole (TH) Design: Manufactured using through-hole solder components to ensure stronger mechanical mounting bonds and enhanced current handling along the copper traces.
Onboard Status Indicators: Features independent, bright SMD LEDs for each of the 2 channels, providing instant visual feedback on which relays are 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, optocouplers, 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 is split into a low-voltage control header on one side and high-voltage screw terminals on the other:
1. Logic Control Input (Header Pins):
VCC: Connects to the +5V DC supply rail from your microcontroller.
GND: System ground reference pin.
IN1, IN2: Digital input trigger pins. Pulling these lines HIGH or LOW (depending on your jumper setting) activates the respective relay channel.
2. High-Voltage Load Output (3-Way Screw Terminals):
Each of the 2 channels features a dedicated terminal block containing:
NO (Normally Open): The circuit stays disconnected/open until the input trigger pin commands the relay to close.
NC (Normally Closed): The circuit stays connected/closed by default until the relay is triggered to open.
COM (Common Terminal): The central power wire from your load hooks up here.
Common Applications
Smart Home Automation: Create custom dual-switch setups to automate ceiling fans, household light fixtures, television sets, or water geysers via home assistants.
Industrial PLC Interfacing: Act as an intermediate sub-relay board to allow low-power logic sensors to toggle heavy pneumatic valves or factory sirens safely.
Agricultural Automation: Automate dual-zone water pump schedules, greenhouse ventilation systems, and livestock feeding mechanisms using microcontrollers.
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 terminals.
