SRD-3VDC-SL-C Relay 3V DC Coil, 10A, SPDT, 220VAC, 5 Pin
Product Overview
The SRD-03VDC-SL-C from Pro Tronix is specifically engineered for the modern era of low-voltage microcontrollers. While standard 5V relays may struggle to trigger reliably from 3.3V power rails, this 3V DC Coil version is optimized for maximum sensitivity.
It is the perfect choice for IoT developers working with ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi, as it allows for direct integration with 3.3V power systems without needing complex step-up converters for the relay coil. Despite its low trigger voltage, it maintains a heavy-duty switching capacity of 10A, allowing you to control household AC appliances or DC motors with ease.
