5V 30A Isolated 1-Channel Relay Module with Trigger Control

5V 30A High-Power Isolated Relay Module for Automation Projects

The 5V 30A Isolated 1-Channel Relay Module is a high-current switching solution designed for robotics, DIY electronics, home automation, and industrial control systems. With optocoupler-based isolation, this relay module ensures safe separation between your low-voltage control side and high-voltage load side. It supports both high-level and low-level trigger modes, making it compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, PLC units, and other microcontroller platforms often used in Bigyan Project–style DIY builds.

This relay can handle up to 30A load at AC 250V or DC 30V, making it suitable for demanding applications such as motor control, heater switching, pumps, solenoids, lamps, and power distribution. Its built-in fault-tolerant design ensures that the relay will not activate unintentionally even if the control line becomes disconnected. Power and relay status indicator LEDs help users monitor activity easily during troubleshooting or live projects.
