You may need to add a resistor in series with the IN pin - i.e. (4) However, If set to Low trigger, AND if you are using 3V3 powered Arduino, or 3V3 powered Raspberry Pi, then there is 50 chance that you can switch relay on by Low signal, but cannot switch off by High signal. Connecting the IN pin to DC+ will turn the relay on (connect NO and COM), and connecting the IN pin to DC- will turn the relay off (connect NC to COM). You need to apply power to the DC+/DC- pins (such as a battery), and then use the IN pin to control whether the relay is on or off. Connect power and then switch the relay on by applying a low signal to the 'IN' pin.

Your relay operates as a DPST switch as shown in the diagram below. Info This is a simple single-channel relay module. 5V 1 Channel Relay Module Shield for Arduino ARM PIC AVR DSP SRD-05VDC-SL-C The item is a 5V 1-Channel Relay interface board, it can be controlled directly by. NO - Normally Open (Connected to COM when relay coil on).NC - Normally Closed (Connected to COM when relay coil off).On the output side a bog standard switch naming is used: IN - Input control signal - the thing that tells the relay whether to be on or off.A single package includes 3 pieces of relay modules. DC- Negative logic supply voltage (a.k.a ground) This is 3 pieces of 5V 1-channel relay modules that work with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, or any 5V or 3.3V microcontroller.Based on this the input pins are as I put in my original answer: The module has additional circuitry on it for driving the relay. Ok so now it is clear that you have a module rather than just a relay. The signals on the left are the input side and the signals on the right are the output side. Then I tried connecting a battery to the DC+ and DC- and the power led of the relay component is turned on, but the bulb is not turned off. So, I connected the bulb wires to COM and NC and the bulb is turned on when I connect it to the socket. Is there any place where I can find the documentation for this kind of relay or are these universal notations? What do they mean? I have no ideas what IN, NC, COM and NO mean.

Arduino relay 1 channel how to#
However, I don't understand how to connect the wires at the other end. I assumed I have to connect the positive wire from the 5V circuit to DC+ and the negative/ground to the DC. It didn't came with any documentation, so I'm not sure what these notations mean. I'm not sure how to connect the module in this context. I want to light a bulb connected to the socket by using an 1 Channel Optocoupler Relay Module which accepts an input of 5V.įrom my understanding, when the modul receives DC current (5V), it's going to turn on the other circuit and turn on the bulb.
