The Grove - 8-Channel Solid State Relay is based on the high-quality G3MC202P module, which allows you to use a 5VDC to control MAX. 240VAC.

Instead of using coil, packaged solid-state relays(SSR) use power semiconductor devices such as thyristors and transistors, which provide a much faster switching speed than the mechanical relays. The Grove - 8-Channel Solid State Relay is based on the high-quality G3MC202P module, which allows you to use a 5VDC to control MAX. 240VAC. With the help of Grove interface, it becomes very convenient to use the SSR with your arduino.

We use an on-board STM32F030F4P6 to control the channels separately. The command from Arduino or other boards is transmit via the I2C interface, the on-board STM32F030F4P6 will parse the command, so that you can control the switch you want.

According to different application scenarios, we've prepared a series of solid state relays for you.

Features:

High durability: Solid-state relays have much faster switching speeds compared with electromechanical relays, and have no physical contacts to wear out.
Outstanding safety: No physical contacts means no sparking, allows it to be used in explosive environments, where it is critical that no spark is generated during switching.
Long lasting: Increased lifetime, even if it is activated many times, as there are no moving parts to wear and no contacts to pit or build up carbon.
Compact size: Much smaller than mechanical relays, and can integrate more channels.
Grove unified socket: The sensor ensures "Plug and Play" and could be versatile for various applications.
