Relay Shield for Arduino

Relay Shield for Arduino - Control more appliances with your Arduino board using this relay shield! This shield has four mechanical relays on it. It can control voltages up to 35VDC 70W on each channel. The Arduino board can control each relay separately using its IO pins with an external 9V DC supply. This version has four selectors that conveniently control the relays manually

Note: The pins on the relay shield should not touch the USB connector of Arduino Uno when they are connected.
