Parallax Inc Dual 8A Relay

Once properly assembled, the Dual Relay Board Kit allows you to control two high-power devices up to 8A each via the included Omron mechanical relays. The Dual Relay Board can be used to turn lights, fans and motors on/off while keeping them isolated from the microcontroller. Independent control of each relay is provided via a 2 x 3 header making it friendly with servo cables and providing a convenient connection to many development boards, such as the Board of Education, Propeller Board of Education, Professional Development Board and Propeller Professional Development Board.
