8 Channel Relay Module Optocoupler 5V 12V 24V for Arduino
8 Channel Relay Module with Optocoupler — Multi-Voltage Control for Arduino & More
Take full control of your electronics projects with the Asia-Teco 8 Channel Relay Module (Model HY08). Designed for makers, hobbyists, and engineers alike, this versatile relay board lets you switch up to 8 independent loads using a single microcontroller. Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, 51/AVR/ARM development boards, and more, it's the go-to solution for home automation, robotics, industrial control, and DIY electronics.
Each relay channel features both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, giving you maximum wiring flexibility. The built-in optocoupler isolation keeps your control circuitry safely separated from your load circuitry, protecting your microcontroller and ensuring reliable, noise-free switching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltages does this 8 channel relay module support?
A: The Asia-Teco HY08 8 channel relay module supports 5V, 12V, and 24V control signals, making it highly versatile for different microcontroller and power supply setups.
Q: Is this relay module compatible with Arduino?
A: Yes! This 8 channel relay module is fully compatible with Arduino (Uno, Mega, Nano), as well as Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, AVR, ARM, and 51-series microcontroller boards. The standard GPIO header interface makes wiring straightforward.
Q: What is the maximum load this relay module can switch?
A: Each relay channel can handle up to AC 250V / 10A or DC 30V / 10A, making it suitable for controlling household appliances, motors, lighting, solenoids, and other moderate-power devices.
Q: How does the optocoupler isolation protect my microcontroller?
A: The built-in optocoupler electrically isolates the low-voltage control circuitry (your Arduino or MCU) from the high-voltage load side. This prevents voltage spikes and electrical noise from the load from damaging your microcontroller, ensuring stable and safe operation.
Q: Does this relay module support both normally open and normally closed wiring?
A: Yes. Each of the 8 channels provides a Normally Open (NO), a Common (COM), and a Normally Closed (NC) terminal, giving you the flexibility to wire your circuit in either configuration depending on your application needs.
