Pin Diagram of a Single Channel Relay Module

Pin Description
 VCC: Power supply for the relay module (typically 5V).
 GND: Ground connection.
 IN: Input control pin. The relay activates when a certain voltage level
(usually high or low) is applied to this pin.
 COM: Common terminal of the relay.
 NO: Normally Open contact of the relay. This terminal is connected to
COM when the relay is activated.
 NC: Normally Closed contact of the relay. This terminal is connected to
COM when the relay is not activated.

Uses of a Single Channel Relay

 Controlling high-current loads: Relays can switch high-


current devices like motors, heaters, and solenoids using
low-current control signals.
 Isolation: Protecting low-voltage circuits from high-voltage
loads.
 Switching AC loads: Relays can handle both AC and DC
loads.
 Automation: Used in various automation systems to control
different devices.

Importance of Relays

 Efficiency: Relays allow low-power control signals to


operate high-power devices.
 Reliability: They provide a physical separation between
control circuitry and the load, improving system reliability.
 Flexibility: Relays can be used in various applications due
to their versatility.
Warnings

 Voltage and Current Ratings: Always check the relay's


specifications for voltage and current limits to avoid damage.
 Inductive Loads: When controlling inductive loads (like
motors), consider using a diode or snubber circuit to protect
the relay from voltage spikes.
 Heat Dissipation: Ensure proper heat dissipation for the
relay to prevent overheating.
 Mechanical Life: Relays have a limited mechanical life.
Consider the expected number of switching cycles when
selecting a relay.
 Safety: Always handle relays with care and follow safety
guidelines when working with electricity.
Qno2.Capacitors

the current flowing through them.
Diodes
Pin Diagram: Diodes typically have two leads:
anode and cathode.

Working Principle: A diode allows current to flow in


one direction (from anode to cathode) and blocks
current in the opposite direction.
Importance:
