Phidget Interface Kit 0/0/4

The PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/0/4 allows you to control high-power devices such as light bulbs, fans, or pumps by electronically switching the power on and off.

The 1014 features 4 relay outputs capable of switching both AC and DC power. The relays are Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) type.

Features

• Switch up to four separate devices or circuits using SPDT relays
• Rated for up to 210 W DC or 1750 VA AC
• DC applications: switches circuits up to 30 V at 7 A
• AC applications: switches up to 12 A or 277 V AC (total power < 1750 VA)
• Mounting hardware included

Note: Not suitable for signal-level switching. At least 100 mA of current is required to break through the oxide layer on the relay contacts; most signal currents will not meet this requirement.
