• Voltage Options: Choose from 5V (Arduino, USB) or 12V (PLC, industrial) coil drive versions.
• Contact Ratings: Standard 10A@250VAC/30VDC, suitable for relays in home and industrial labs.
• Modular Terminals: Screw terminals simplify wiring and maintenance for students, educators, and technicians.
• Status LEDs: Fast troubleshooting with onboard relay indicators.

Compatibility Guidance

Communica's 8-channel relay boards are designed to be compatible with a wide variety of controllers and logic signals (3.3V and 5V). When specifying your module, be sure to select the relay coil voltage that matches your control signal for reliable operation. Many boards also allow for jumper selection between isolated and direct drive modes.
