BattleSwitch 10A Relay with Remote Control

BattleSwitch 10A Relay with Remote Control

The BattleSwitch is an enhanced 10A version of our popular PicoSwitch. This relay switch is easily operated via a radio-controlled unit. The BattleSwitch is perfect for quick and easy control of glow plugs, BattleBot weapons, and other applications. You can activate applications with voltage levels up to 240V AC without requiring knowledge of logic levels of microcontrollers or transistors, as the relay provides full electrical isolation from your receiver's electronics.

The BattleSwitch easily connects to standard radio receivers, just like a servo does. Use BattleSwitch protectors to connect the load you want to switch. Depending on the channel you are using, you will be able to control the relay by moving the radio control stick up or down, left or right, or with another method of your choice.

The BattleSwitch features a status LED. The LED lights up when the relay switch is on and turns off when it is off. If the LED keeps flashing, it indicates that the radio connection is too weak.

The relay serves as a single-pole double-throw switch. Its typical lifespan is 100,000 switching cycles, depending on the load you are using.

The BattleSwitch does not supply power to the terminal blocks.
