AC Phase Control Circuit (Dimming Circuit)
Leading Edge AC Dimmer for inductive and resistive loads
now available wiring diagramm for Raspberry boards
Module contains a Triac triggering coupled with zero-cross detector mechanism
for programming the intensity of incandescent lamps, AC LED dimmable bulbs, heating elements or fan speed controlled through a micro-controller.
Working voltage from 110v to 240v.
Auto detect 50Hz or 60Hz.
Zero-Cross detection (with zero/cross output pin SYNC).
Compatible with any ARDUINO, RASPBERRY boards.
Low voltage side and high voltage side is completely isolated.
Dimensions of the PCB 50mm x 60mm.
Four mounting holes diameter 3.2mm.
Connected LOAD current 2A long-term and 5A short-term.
Not for controlling via PWM signal !
NOT appropriate to change the brightness of fluorescent lamps !!!
For inductive load controlling must be connected RC snubber, search it in my store!!!
