5v 8 Channel Relay Module Relay Board Relay Arduino Relay Module
5v 8 Channel Relay Module Relay Board Relay Arduino Relay Module contains eight 5V relays and the associated switching and isolating components, which makes interfacing with a microcontroller or sensor easy with minimum components and connections. Each relay on the board has the same circuit, and the input ground is common to all eight channels.

Eight-Channel Relay Module Basic Troubleshooting
If either of the relays does not turn on:
- The contacts might be welded due to overcurrent/arcing. Shaking the module firmly might help unstick the contacts.
- The driver circuitry might have been damaged due to overvoltage.
- Input polarity might be incorrect.
- Jumper might not have been moved to the correct position
