🤖 Integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Microcontrollers

To interface this relay with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or similar microcontroller platforms, use a proper relay driver (transistor or MOSFET) and a flyback diode across the coil. The 12V coil requires an external 12V supply; do not drive it directly from 3.3V/5V GPIO pins. For simplicity and safety, consider a relay module with an optocoupler and transistor stage when controlling mains-level voltage.

• ✅ Logic-level control via transistor/MOSFET gate
• ✅ Flyback diode for coil transient suppression
• ✅ Optional optocoupler for improved isolation

📐 Electrical Notes & Safety

• Observe load type (resistive vs. inductive) and apply appropriate derating for inductive loads.
• Use snubber networks (RC or MOV) on AC loads to reduce arcing and extend contact life.
• Maintain proper creepage/clearance distances on the PCB when switching mains.
• AC mains wiring should be installed by qualified personnel and comply with local regulations.
