The REL1101 is a PWM-enabled solid state relay. The relay is great for controlling LED strips, DC motors, power relays, fans, and other small circuits. Solid-state relays switch silently and quickly, and last much longer than mechanical relays. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.
Open collector digital outputs behave like a solid-state relay that switches a line to ground. Learn more here.
Second generation VINT devices have increased communication speeds, longer Phidget cables, and improved electrical immunity. Learn more here.
Second generation VINT devices can now extend up to 50 meters from a VINT Hub. Learn more here.
