Hello, I want to use some relays to switch a high power circuit. I have read multiple times that using the Arduino 5V pin to power the coils can be dangerous because they can draw too much current, and I should use an external power supply. So, is it safe to use a relay shield like this one ? I g…

Are relay shields safe?

The relays support up to 30V DC 2A. Is that "high" enough?
