5V 1-Channel Relay Module

Relay

Single-relay module that switches separately powered loads such as a lamp, fan, pump or lock on and off from a small Arduino or ESP32 signal. The load goes between COM and NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed). WARNING: 220V mains voltage can kill. While learning, work with low-voltage loads such as 12V; if it is wired to mains, the circuit must be in a closed, insulated enclosure, the underside of the board must never be touched, the wiring should be done by someone qualified, and only with the power off. Because of the board's traces, do not switch more than a few amps in practice.
