More Details
The new, improved PowerSwitch Tail II functions the same as the original. It sill lets you safely control a device plugged into a 120vac outlet using almost any microcontroller; But the improvements make it even better. The new model switches up to 15 amps of current (50% more than the original) using a 3-12 vdc (3-30ma) control signal, meaning no more driver circuits! Just plug one wire into ground, the other to a digital pin and you can control the PSTII as easy as you would blink an LED. You can also control multiple PSTII's from one pin. Use of an opto-isolator ensures no stray voltage can cross over to your microcontroller or computer.
No exposed 120vac coltages and no dangerous 120vac wiring required.
Can be installed by non-technical users.
Plugs into standard 120vac 3-prong household outlets, power strips, and extension cords.
Easily inserts between power source and corded electrical devices.
Eliminates the exposure of hazardous voltages in classrooms, laboratories, and industrial and DIY workbenches.
No special 120vac wiring when deploying new products and custom solutions.
Eliminate the need for electrician fees or electrical wiring permits.
Switches up to 15 amps with a 3-12vdc (3-30ma) control signal.
Connects directly to any microcontroller without the need for a driver circuit.
Ideal for battery powered controllers.
