PowerSwitch Tail

Product Description

Replacement: COM-10747. We now carry the PowerSwitch Tail II! The new and improved design accepts a wider range of control voltages and can control loads up to 15A. This page is for reference only.

Description: Want to control a standard wall outlet device with your micro controller, but don't want to mess with the high voltage wiring? This might just be the right device for you!



The PowerSwitch Tail is designed to allow you to safely control an outlet device without exposing any 120VAC voltages. You can plug in any standard 120VAC 3-prong outlet to be controlled by most any microcontroller. This will work great with Arduino!

Note: We are waiting on more stock for this item. We have been informed by the manufacturer that it will be several months before stock arrives. We estimate we will have stock later in the year.
