A1J0101 optocoupler relay module

  • This product is an optocoupler isolated input amplification module. It can be used in conjunction with 5V, 9V, 12V or 24V voltages. After the product is powered on, if a voltage signal is applied to the optocoupler end, the relay will be connected; if the signal is removed, the relay will be disconnected. The polarity of the input signal can be selected; it can be set to be attracted when the input is high or when the input is low.

Basic Function Description

If there is a valid signal connected to the optocoupler terminal of this product, the relay will make, and if there is no signal, the relay will break. The input polarity of the signal may be inverted, or the relay may be configured to be normally open or normally closed on power up.

Input Polarity Setting Description

Jump the jumper cap between "o" and "+" to select high-level operation, i.e., the relay will make when the optocoupler terminal perceives a high-level and break when the optocoupler terminal perceives a low-level. Jump the jumper cap between "o" and "-" to select low-level operation, i.e., the relay will make when the optocoupler terminal perceives a low-level and break when the optocoupler terminal perceives a high-level. When the product is configured for low-level operation, the input status indicator will keep illuminated.

The relay of this product may also be configured to a constant make or break, independent of the optocoupler signal. Jumping the jumper cap between "o" and "V" permanently makes the relay, and jumping the jumper cap between "o" and "G" permanently breaks the relay. The "V" and "G" terminals are shipped unpopulated by default and need to be soldered when required.

Discrete Module Usage Description

The optocoupler and relay terminals of this product may be used separately, i.e., as one standalone optocoupler isolated input and one standalone relay isolated output. When using the product in this way, the jumper cap on the product needs to be removed. The functions of the five jumper terminals on the product are listed below. These five terminals may be used according to specific applications in a flexible manner.

Terminal NameFunction
VConnects directly to the power supply terminal of the product, as a high-level reference voltage.
GConnects directly to the ground terminal of the product, as a low-level reference voltage.
+When there is a high-level at the optocoupler terminal, the output is the same high-level as the supply voltage, otherwise it is low-level.
-When there is a low-level at the optocoupler terminal, the output is the same high-level as the supply voltage, otherwise it is low-level.
oIf connected to a high-level above 2V, the relay will make; if connected to a low-level, the relay will break.

Product Variants

This product has the following modifications whose ordering numbers are in the form of C1S01[aa]R[b]T[c]M[dd]. The [aa] field is fixed as 01, as the module only has a single-channel version; the [b] field and [c] field are the main version number and sub-version number of the module respectively; the [dd] field determines the specific modification of the module. The module modification classes are mutually independent. If no specific requirement is designated when the product is shipped, the default option is the 12V relay output type, i.e., M31. The specific meanings of the [dd] field are as follows.

Transistor Output Type Description

This version is connected to the circuit in open-drain mode. The transistor has a rated working voltage of 12-48V DC and a rated current of 10A. With a 10A freewheeling diode on the transistor, it can directly power an inductive load up to 10A. Compared to relays, transistors are far more sensitive. Thus, when the module is being powered on or off and the input is left unconnected, the transistor may make for a moment and then break. This issue is nonexistent on the relay version but must be accounted for when using transistor version modules, especially when the devices connected to the output may respond to such momentary pulses. An effective countermeasure is to use power sequencing: ensure that the product is powered on before the output is powered on, and that the output is powered off before the product is powered off.

Notes on Reliability

This product has enhanced stability, thus well resists interferences in general industrial environments, and may be used as a general product in industrial applications. If additional stability is still required, a switching power supply with Electrical Fast Transient (EFT) resistance or a supply line filter is required to power the product, and the power supply cord must be shorter than 3m. During all tests, the negative supply of the product is directly connected to the earth by default. The same connection should be made to obtain the reliability performance in the table above.
