An efficient solid state single pole double throw or SPDT switch can be built using triacs for replacing a mechanical SPDT. In this post I have explained a simple solid state triac SPDT relay circuit, using an optocoupler and a couple of triacs, which can be used as an effective replacement for mechanical relays. The […]

SPDT Solid State DC Relay Circuit using MOSFET
In this post we’ll study a simple high current mosfet based SPDT DC relay, which can be used in place conventional bulky SPDT mechanical relays. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Working Concept A simple high current SPDT solid state DC relay or a DC SSR can be constructed using a couple of mosfets […]
How to Connect 5V Single Channel Relay Module
In this post we are talking about this handy little gadget called a 5V single-channel relay module. It is super useful for our microcontroller projects whether we are using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or even the ESP8266/ESP32. Let us break it down together, what it is, how it works, and how we can connect it. Understanding […]
7 Automatic Street Light Circuits [Using Relays and Solar Panel]
In this article I will elucidate 7 useful yet simple automatic street light circuits using 220 V relays and solar panel. All the presented circuits can be used for automatically switching a lamp ON during night time and OFF during day time. What is an Automatic Street Light System An automatic street light system is […]
How a Relay Works – How to Connect N/O, N/C Pins
An electrical relay consists of a electromagnet and a spring loaded changeover contacts. When the electromagnet is switched ON/OFF with a DC supply, the spring loaded mechanism is corresponding pulled and released by this electromagnet, enabling a changeover across the end terminals of these contacts. An external electrical load connected across these contacts are subsequently […]
