NO it does not work. components and design is for AC. For DC you use this ua-cam.com/video/tCJ2Q-CT6Q8/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/17vqLv508Uw/v-deo.html or simply serarch MOSFET in my channel
Never tin wires going into screw terminals. You get much less surface area, which builds up heat at the smaller connection point, which melts more solder, which reduces the contact area, which increases heat, which burns your house down. If you want to make the wires easier to manage, just lightly tin the very tip of the wire, not the whole thing. I almost did this with my 3d printer. Terminals turned black, board melted. It could have been really bad.
this comment was really helpful to me, thanks Joey. I almost tinned the wires the other day. Even better than that is using crimped tubular terminals on the wire tip. They create a flat contact surface between the conductors.
I like your videos. Very good to understand, I learned a lot about Arduino with these videos! Very usefull! Keep up the good work, thanks for sharing. Greetings from The Netherlands!
Hello , love your videos , and the ways you explained, I am learning a lot, Thanks. Can you help me please, I need to find double solid state relay, the one can be control whit Arduino and conduct electricity at the some time in both ways, like controlling two separate DC motors at some time at the direction choose by me, can you guide me please?. Thanks for any help.
Hello, solid state relay is for AC load only. I have video to control DC motor using two relay search for it. Here is how to find a video in a youtube channel ua-cam.com/video/OhkUceBWcHs/v-deo.html
I am having a small problem when trying to use the ssr to control some LEDs. the led turns on but does not turn off, is there a way to fix this and keep using the ssr? , I think a mosfet would fix the problem but I prefer to use the ssr if possible
I got one of these but the resistance of the output terminals is around 2.8K when the relay is active which makes me think its faulty. Is the resistance supposed to be that high?
Will it work if the signal is coming from a negative line from the power supply, so i don't need to use arduino? I tried but im getting problem. It does not turn on if the load is connected first before the signal is connected. And when it is turned on, it does not switch off, unless I remove the power supply
this is strange. Make sure to pass the LIVE ( or hot) wire of AC though this module. It should work unless it is defective. this module needs 5V to operate. Then to control it you need signal of 3V or higher to turn it ON.
No, you can't. You must use a more complicated circuit in order to control the AC phase (google Arduino AC Phase Control), or else it won't do anything, except maybe burning your relay..
@@lapidations why doesn't it work? Out of curiosity, because I tried searching why you can't apply PWM on an AC signal (at a much different frequency) and I can't find any information
@@joshuavincent7884 Basically because the switching between on and off only occurs at a specific point in the AC cycle; so you can only switch a maximum of 50 or 60 times per second. Even if your PWM ran this slowly, it would lead to highly visible flickering.
When I digitalWrite Low, it does not turn off. does it mean it did not reach a minimum voltage to turn the relay OFF? Im using arduino Nano, connected to a 12V power supply.
Perhaps you did not watch the video fully. LOW will turn it ON and HIGH will turn it OFF. I will reply to subscribers. so make sure to subscribe if you want me to reply again.
Sir please explain which relay module is suitable for to drive DC load with high speed using arduino UNO for example to drive for DC Motors but its on one by one with time delay continuously
Hi, relay is very VERY slow response switch. Use MOSFET swtich if you want fast switching. here is mosfet module ua-cam.com/video/17vqLv508Uw/v-deo.html
I believe I have explained that. Look at the current rating (A) of the relay. 350÷Voltage = Current. if the current is smaller or equal the current rating of the relay, yes you can use it.
this a mosfet can handle 49A. how came? with 5A even without heat sink it should work. here see the datasheet www.infineon.com/dgdl/irfz44n.pdf?fileId=5546d462533600a40153563b3575220b . Can you post the schematic of your system to snag.gy/ and then post the URL (address) here so I look at it?
So is a solid state low level relay HAVE to be used with a arduino. Can’t a solid state low level relay be used like a normal car relay with just +&-? WhTs the benefit of a low level relay compared to a standard relay
This is module meaning a relay is built with other components to make work with a very weak signal such as Arduino. They desist the driver to work with low level signal and some applications needs low level trigger.
@@robojax so normally a relay needs only ground and 12v+ to activate the relay and that closes the NO to closed But these new SSR they still need ground and 12v+ but then an additional wire to do the same thing That’s what I am confused about I have one here and I ju at can’t operate it. I have just now obtained a arduino nano But it seems overkill to use an extra power wire and a arduino JUST to operate a relay Is there no other minimal way to operate a SSR
I actually try with DC (cut negative with the switch) an it works so this can be used with AC and DC like a switch combined with another sensor or with time like in your video
This was a very thorough and helpful video. I learned some new things.
Thank you. Please subscribe. I appreciate it and helps my channel grow. Thank you
can it work on dc current? if no why? and the alternative? thank you my man
NO it does not work. components and design is for AC. For DC you use this ua-cam.com/video/tCJ2Q-CT6Q8/v-deo.html or ua-cam.com/video/17vqLv508Uw/v-deo.html or simply serarch MOSFET in my channel
Thanks I appreciate it that you give the dimensions of the relay module. It is rather surprising that it is bigger than a mechanical relay.
You are welcome. Because of PCB, it takes more space.
Fantastic content, so easy to understand, will definitely be watching other tutorials in your series. thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for your comment. The bulb I tested is 7W LED at 120V and 7÷120=58mA (0.0583A )current winch is very minimal and it will never heat up.
this comment was really helpful to me, thanks Joey. I almost tinned the wires the other day. Even better than that is using crimped tubular terminals on the wire tip. They create a flat contact surface between the conductors.
If the screws are not tightened properly, it will add to the mess by soldering the wire on to to the terminal block!
This just switch the state ON or OFF, is it possible to vary the intensity of light using solid state drive, if so than would like to know. Thank you.
You are welcome. NO not possible. This is just switch. If you want to dim the light, here is the video ua-cam.com/video/zJQf6bNodhE/v-deo.html

Can I connect the 12v solar panel to the input port (+ and - ) and connect arduino uno to channel 1 port to control the switching?
No you can't. This module work with 5V. Your solar panel will kill it.
@@robojax thanks for your informative reply

You need a mosfet. This ssr is for ax only and uses zero cross switching. Will not work with dc.
Good job!; very clear, keep doing it. Very help full. Clever!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome tutorial! Just what i needed. Perfectly explained. Thank you.
You are welcome. I am pleased you found it useful.
I got one of these but the resistance of the output terminals is around 2.8K when the relay is active which makes me think its faulty. Is the resistance supposed to be that high?
you can't measure the resistance. this is semiconductor and not mechanical. you can't measure it with ohmmeter.
Thorough tutorial, subscribed. Ty!
Thank you.
Really really helpful, had some great insight

Are solid state relays normally open?
They are not like relay with 3 pins. They are electronic and simply they are switch. They are always OPEN.
Sir i have a issue with led bulb when I off it its blink kindly suggest solution for this
Is the code also work by using 12V Solid State Relay?
Yes it will.
Will it work if the signal is coming from a negative line from the power supply, so i don't need to use arduino? I tried but im getting problem. It does not turn on if the load is connected first before the signal is connected. And when it is turned on, it does not switch off, unless I remove the power supply

this module needs 5V to operate. Then to control it you need signal of 3V or higher to turn it ON.
Hello, I have a question, can you use the PWM outputs to make a "dimmer" effect in the AC light vulb?

With high switching speed just like a blinking LED three are more LED blink one by one with respect to time delay this type
Because I have to control the four solenoids one by one with the time delay to each solenoids for engineering projects solenoid input is DC
I am waiting for your response sir
Hi, relay is very VERY slow response switch. Use MOSFET swtich if you want fast switching. here is mosfet module ua-cam.com/video/17vqLv508Uw/v-deo.html
Can I connect a inductive load like ceiling fan to the SSR module via fan regulator? Does this module have inbuilt snubber circuit?
follow the link in the description and you will get the code as well as data sheet. Here is screen shot snag.gy/d3IGAq.jpg
I need i diode for this relay if i use it without a module ??, and can i connect DC-DC ? or only DC-AC??
this is for AC load only. No diode is needed.
hi, can i use this relay board for a 350 watts resistamce heater. i saw this product at aliexpress
I believe I have explained that. Look at the current rating (A) of the relay. 350÷Voltage = Current. if the current is smaller or equal the current rating of the relay, yes you can use it.
@@robojax thank you very much. i will use 1.6 A as your formula.
is it Better than Mechanical Relay?? I`v heard that Mechanical Relay causes Back EMF
see my previous reply.
Hi do u have a better alternative for IRFZ44N , like this solid state Relay?
These two are totally different items. IRFZ44N is mosfet and this module should not have any mosfet.
@@robojax this irfz44n is getting heated when i turn the leds on with 12v 5amps , any u suggest a better withstandable mosfet pls?
this a mosfet can handle 49A. how came? with 5A even without heat sink it should work. here see the datasheet www.infineon.com/dgdl/irfz44n.pdf?fileId=5546d462533600a40153563b3575220b . Can you post the schematic of your system to snag.gy/ and then post the URL (address) here so I look at it?

Here is solid state relay without pCB www.digikey.ca/short/mf4bv88z this juts need + and -
How much +5v current does this board Draw. The only data I can find suggests 140mA, surely not?
I have provided the datasheet for the module . It should be less than 30mA.
Sir please tell me this relay is to drive a DC load?
Hi, please read the title. You should not have waited 3 hours for my replay. It clearly say AC
this relay is only for AC or can i connect DC to the switch?
no you can't. AC only.
I actually try with DC (cut negative with the switch) an it works so this can be used with AC and DC like a switch combined with another sensor or with time like in your video
This works as intended for AC only. For DC, when I tried, it switches ON, but would not go OFF. I belive the relay uses zero detection.
What is the trigger current required?
almost zero (few mA). it just needs potential. I have also provided the datasheet.
where did you buy the relay?
you can get it from Amazon, eBay.com, AliExpress.com
I made it but I can on the relay with WiFi but I can't off it inside conditional statement if else I can't off the relay wat I'll do plz help me
Please share your code in this page and let me know once you did. I will help you. codeshare.io/29njmB
Can it be controlled without an Arduino?
Yes can. You can use a switch .
Great but how to? Maybe you can show the way?
The resistor is also windows
Thank you.
You are welcome.
thank you sir
You are welcome.
Please make som project! Thank you
I am planning, but have add the basic modules first so in the project I don't have to explain it again. Thanks for the suggestion though.
The screw killed the purpose already unless use fiberglass nonconductive screws
