πΆ NE555 DC12V Adjustable Time Delay Relay Timer Switch Module Shield 0β10s β Delay Relay for Automation Projects
π¦ Overview
When connected to a 12V power supply, the relay operates on a fixed 1β10 second cycle (adjustable). Upon power-up, the relay is immediately energised, causing the normally open (NO) contact to close with the common (COM) terminal and the normally closed (NC) contact to open. After the preset delay of 1β10 seconds, the relay de-energises, returning the contacts to their default state (NO open, NC connected to COM).

π Wiring & Operation Guide
12 V DC Supply β VCC
GND β GND
Relay output (NO/COM/NC):
- COM (Common) β Load supply or signal path
- NO (Normally Open) β Switched output after delay
- NC (Normally Closed) β Default closed output before delay
Potentiometer β Adjust timer delay (0β10 seconds approx)
When 12 V DC is applied, the timer begins counting. After the set delay the relay changes state from its initial contact to the opposite (NCβopen /
NOβclosed). Use the relay contacts to control lights, motors, alarms, or other devices within the relay load limits.
π‘ Possible Uses
- Delay-on controls for lighting and LED circuits
- Motor soft start or delayed engagement
- Security alarm trigger delays
- Automatic shutoff sequences for pumps or fans
- Arduino, Raspberry Pi or microcontroller projects requiring time-delay actuation
- Automotive delay circuits (12 V) such as interior or external lighting
β οΈ Safety & Best Practices
- Ensure that your load does not exceed the relay ratings (10 A @ AC220 V or DC30 V approx).
- Use proper insulation and mounting if controlling mains or high-voltage circuits.
- Always disconnect power before adjusting wiring or potentiometer.
- For microcontroller projects, use the moduleβs relay to switch power to the load, not the control logic pins directly.
