0-PICOSW1 PicoSwitch 1A R/C Switch <p><font color="#00FF66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">PicoSwitch is a relay switch that you toggle via hobby radio control gear.
You can use PicoSwitch to quickly and easily control anything from a digital
camera shutter to an electric squirt gun to home lighting and more. You can
activate applications with voltage levels as high as 125VAC without having
to know anything about microcontroller logic levels or transistors because
the relay offers full electrical isolation from your receiver electronics. </font></p>
<p><font color="#00FF66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">PicoSwitch plugs into a standard hobby radio control receiver as easily as
a servo does. You connect the load that you want to toggle using PicoSwitch's
wear resistant screw terminals. Depending on the channel you use, you will
then be able to control the relay by moving your radio's control stick up or
down, left or right, or another method you desire.</font></p>
<p><font color="#00FF66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Picoswitch has a status LED on the bottom. The LED will light up when the
relay switch is on, and vice versa. It will also tell you if your radio link
is too weak by flashing repeatedly.</font></p>
<p><font color="#00FF66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The relay is a single pole single throw switch. Its typical lifetime is 100,000
to 1,000,000 switching cycles, depending on how heavy a load you are using.
The relay is normally open when unpowered. </font></p>
<p><font color="#00FF66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">PicoSwitch does not supply power at the screw terminals.</font></p>
<p><font color="#00FF66" size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">PicoSwitch should not be used to switch inductive loads like motors or solenoids
without an antiparallel diode. </font></p>
