Frequently asked questions
Can I drive this relay directly from an Arduino pin?
It is not recommended. Drive the coil through a transistor or relay driver, and place a flyback diode across the coil to protect the switching circuit.
What do the five pins represent?
Two pins connect to the coil, and the remaining three are the common (COM), normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts of the SPDT switch.
