Spike is a 20 Amp, H-Bridge Relay Module that is small enough to be remotely mounted almost anywhere on your robot. Spike is designed for driving small motors in forward, reverse, or stop (brake).  Spike is opto-isolated at the signal input to protect the Robot Controller against motor noise and return currents. Requires a PWM/Relay Extension Cable for connection to the Robot Controller.

  • Ideal for 2 independent solenoids, light, pumps.
  • Design will accept auto-resetting circuit breaker.
  • Compact design.
