Hello to all,

got this relay in my test system, Relay and it works fine on 5v with an ESP8266. Would like to use the same kind.

But I don't trust it for high voltage, cause there is no gap between high and low voltage. Looking now for some suggestions. Hope you can help me.

That is a good reason to distrust it. I would use an SSR (solid state relay) for AC, which would be more reliable than an electromechanical relay as well.

Has two gaps :slight_smile:
