The PowerSwitch Tail II is designed to allow you to safely control an outlet device without exposing any 120VAC voltages.
You can plug in any standard 120VAC 3-prong outlet to be controlled by most any microcontroller. This will work great with Arduino! The PowerSwitch Tail II improves on the original PowerSwitch Tail by allowing you to switch a bigger load (now up to 15A) with a wider range of control signals (3-12VDC).
Features:
- Connect to Arduino, PIC, Stamp, or other MCU with driver transistor or ULN2803
- LED indicator shows status of control signal
- Connect output receptacle to a single powered device or to a power strip to control multiple loads.
- Switches up to 15A (resistive loads) with a 3-12VDC, 3-30mA control signal.
