Product Details
The Pololu RC Switch with Relay (Assembled) is a versatile module designed to control large, electrically isolated loads using standard radio control (RC) signals. It features a single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) Omron G5LE-14-DC5 relay rated for up to 10 A, making it suitable for applications such as activating lights, motors, or irrigation valves in RC systems.
Key Features
High Current Handling: Equipped with a 5V Omron G5LE-14-DC5 relay capable of switching up to 10 A under most conditions.
Configurable Activation: The module measures incoming RC pulses and activates the relay based on a user-configurable threshold, with a default activation at approximately 1700 μs. A learning mode allows customization of the threshold and activation direction.
Safe-Start Feature: Incorporates a safe-start mechanism to minimize the risk of unintended activation upon power-up.
Integrated Feedback: Includes a yellow indicator LED and two output pins: 'GOOD' indicates the presence of a valid RC signal, and 'OUT' reflects the relay's activation state.
To-Use Assembly: Ships fully assembled with the relay, terminal block, and straight male header pins soldered in, facilitating immediate integration into RC systems without additional soldering.
