Tibbit #07: Two Solid-State Relays, M1S

Description

Tibbit #07: Two Solid-State Relays, M1S
TIBBIT_07
This is a Tibbit module — part of the Tibbo Project System that allows you to build your own custom embedded device with only the components you need. Start with a
Tibbo Project PCB
, add
Tibbits
like this one, then place the built design into a
Tibbo Project Box
to complete your product.
Tibbit #07: Two solid-state normally opened relays.
These relays are rated for a maximum load of 1A per relay.
To activate a relay, set the corresponding control line LOW. When left unconnected, control lines default to HIGH (and, hence, relays are off).
Combine this Tibbit with a terminal block
C
Tibbit
#20
(nine terminal blocks) or
#21
(four terminal blocks).
There are two red LEDs each of which is connected to an SSR control line. They light up for the LOW state of their respective control lines (i.e. when the corresponding relay is activated).

M1S Tibbit Modules Overview
M1S
Tibbits are single-width modules occupying one standard
M
socket on a Tibbo Project PCB (i.e.
TPP2
or
TPP3
). Their footprint is roughly
7 × 14
"squares" (one "square" is
2.54 × 2.54 mm).
The
M1S
modules are 12.5mm high.
M1
modules have two rows of 6 pins:
Pins 8-11
are control lines
A-D
. They provide the interface to programmable modules or other microcontrollers. On Tibbo Project PCBs, these pins are connected to the main processor.
Pins 2-5
are I/O lines facing the outside world. On Tibbo Project PCBs, they go to
C
Tibbits.
Pins 6 and 12
are the GROUND and +5V power pins. Most Tibbit Modules consume (take) 5V power. There are also power supply Tibbits that generate 5V power from a variety of sources. Those
output
5V through
pin 12.
Pins 1 and 7
are for the additional +15V and -15V voltages. These are optional and only needed by few Tibbits. A special power supply Tibbit (
#12
) generates ±15V from the main 5V power.
