Description Unit SSR is a solid-state relay unit integrated with MOC3043M optocoupler isolation and zero-crossing detection. The Unit SSR accepts a 3.3-5V DC control signal and switches a single-phase 220-250V AC output, making it a compact Grove-connected relay option for M5 controller projects. Compared with ordinary mechanical relays, the Unit SSR uses power semiconductor devices for microsecond-level switching and built-in overcurrent protection. With no physical contacts, the Unit SSR offers long service life, high reliability, low noise, high sensitivity, and better adaptation to demanding environments such as severe vibration. Notes Be cautious when using high-voltage AC loads; do not operate with power on. This relay is only suitable for AC loads. Features Unit SSR zero-crossing solid-state relay for single-phase AC switching. Built-in MOC3043M optocoupler isolation with zero-crossing detection. Built-in overcurrent protection with a 2A fuse. Supports 3.3-5V DC control signal and 220-250V AC switching voltage. Grove interface for quick connection to M5 controllers. Supports UIFlow graphical programming for remote relay control with an M5 controller.
