1 Relay Module, 12V/7A, No Header, Terminal Block Connector

The im1R has two rows of standard 2.54mm (0.1") pin headers. The rows are 0.7" apart, allowing this module to be mounted on a breadboard or standard 0.1" grid prototype board. The picture to the right shows some iMod modules mounted on a standard prototype board.

Features

• One 12V, 7A high quality relay
• Relay driving and diode protection circuitry
• High quality, 3.5mm terminal block connector
• Pin Header connectors are gold plated for best possible contact
• Module dimension: 24.8mm x 22.2mm (0.975" x 0.875")
• RoHS Compliant

Pin Headers

By default this board is supplied with No Pin Headers! The following additional options can be selected in the "Header Type" Option at the top of the page (below price):

No Pin Headers Click to enlarge No pin header is assembled or included with the board.

Loose 3, 4 and 6.0mm Pin Headers Click to enlarge Two unsoldered(loose) Pin Headers are supplied with the board for free. The pin(mating) length is 3.0, 4.0 or 6.0mm. The number of pins depends on the iMod board. For most boards two 1x6 pin headers are supplied. - Select 3.0mm if module is going to be soldered into place. - Select 6.0mm if module is going to be plugged into standard 8.5mm high Female Socket. - Select 4.0mm if module is going to be plugged into low profile 5.7mm high Female Socket.

3.0mm Pin Headers Click to enlarge Pin headers with 3.0mm long pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be soldered into place. The picture on the right shows an example of an iMod module soldered onto a main board. Header size (2 to 8 pin) depends on iMod board. Many boards will get a 2 pin header on one side, and a 4 or 5 pin on the other.

4.0mm Pin Headers Click to enlarge Pin headers with 4.0mm long pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be plugged into a low profile 5.7mm high female socket (2.54mm grid). Header size (2 to 8 pin) depends on iMod board. Many boards will get a 2 pin header on one side, and a 4 or 5 pin on the other.

6.0mm Pin Headers Click to enlarge Pin headers with 6.0mm long pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be plugged into a standard 2.54mm female socket. Header size (2 to 8 pins) depends on iMod board. Many boards will get a 2 pin header on one side, and a 4 or 5 pin on the other.

Round Swiss Pin Headers Click to enlarge Two 6 Pin headers with Round (Swiss) style pins are assembled. Select this option if the module is going to be plugged into female Round (Swiss) Sockets. This is very useful for prototyping! See picture on the right for some examples. Typically the 6 pin female socket (low profile version) can be used for the main board. We stock a range of swiss pin headers, available here.

Press-Fit Headers Click to enlarge Press-fit type pins are assembled. They can be pressed into 1.00mm holes on a 1.6mm thick (standard PCB thickness) target board. A press-tool might be required for production assembly. Once fitted to the target board, the board is very secure, and can not be removed by hand any more. The picture on the right shows an example of an iMod module mounted onto main board via press-fit connectors. We stock a range of press-fit pin headers, available here.

Code Examples

Using with Netcruzer boards that have iMod ports

Many of our Netcruzer boards have iMod ports. This board can be plugged into any available iMod port. The relay is controlled by setting pin 2 of the iMod port. The following is some sample code showing how to turn the relay on and off if this module is mounted in iMod port 1.

imod1_ConfDirPin2(OUTPUT_PIN);  //Configure pin 2 of iMod 1 as an output
imod1_WritePin2(1);             //Set pin 2 of iMod 1 - Turn relay on
imod1_WritePin2(0);             //Clear pin 2 of iMod 1 - Turn relay off
