Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What USB driver does the CH340 USB Relay Module require?
A: The module uses the CH340 USB-to-serial chip, which requires the CH340 driver. This driver is freely available and supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, the module appears as a virtual COM port, allowing easy communication via serial commands.
Q: What is the difference between LCUS-1, LCUS-2, LCUS-4, and LCUS-8 models?
A: The numbers refer to the number of relay channels on the board. LCUS-1 has 1 channel, LCUS-2 has 2 channels, LCUS-4 has 4 channels, and LCUS-8 has 8 channels. All models share the same CH340 USB interface and 10A relay rating — simply choose the channel count that fits your project.
Q: Can this USB Relay Module switch AC mains voltage?
A: Yes. Each relay is rated at 10A at 250VAC, making it suitable for switching standard mains-voltage devices. Always follow local electrical codes and safety standards when working with mains voltage, and ensure proper enclosure and insulation when deploying in a finished project.
Q: Does the module need an external power supply?
A: The control circuit is powered directly by the USB connection, so no separate power supply is needed for the module itself. The relay contacts are independent and can switch external AC or DC loads within the rated limits.
