PicoSwitch Radio Controlled Relay Module (RC Signal Activated Switch)
Description
The PicoSwitch Radio Controlled Relay Module is a compact RC signal–activated switching device designed for safe and easy control of low-power electrical loads in radio control systems. It allows direct control of external devices using standard RC receiver signals without requiring microcontrollers or additional driver circuitry.
This module provides electrically isolated switching between the RC receiver and the load, ensuring safe operation and protection of sensitive control electronics. It includes configurable activation thresholds and direction settings, along with a built-in safe-start feature that helps prevent accidental activation during system power-up.
The PicoSwitch is suitable for a wide range of RC and embedded applications where lightweight, low-power switching is required. It is commonly used in RC aircraft, boats, cars, and hobby robotics systems for controlling auxiliary functions and electronic devices.
Note: The module is rated for a maximum switching voltage of 125VAC and is not suitable for 220VAC mains applications.
