Description:

The New PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/0/8 provides small signal relays with 8 relay outputs, rated at a combination of 250VAC, or 2 Amps, up to a maximum of 60 Watts. While typical mechanical relay boards are unable to switch signals due to an oxide buildup on the contacts, the 1017 excels at switching both signals and low-power applications. The 1017_2 can be connected via USB, or to a VINT Hub using a Phidget cable.

Please Note: These relays cannot be switched at maximum current and maximum voltage at the same time. Ensure that the total power of the load does not exceed the switching power of the relay. For example, you can switch these relays at 200V DC and 0.3 A (60W), or 30V DC and 2A (60W), but not 200V DC and 2A (400W).

Important

Due to parts and components going obsolete and becoming unavailable, this 1017_2 board has a new processor that is not supported under Phidget21 drivers. This means that when you are using old Phidgets libraries you must upgrade to Phidget22 before you can make use of this Phidget. If you are using Phidget21, the 1017_1 is still available. Please contact us when in doubt!
