Tutorial: How to use MY2N-J AC220 / 240

The MY2N-J AC220 / 240 relay is ideal for controlling 220/240 VAC electrical devices with an Arduino. Useful for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• MY2N-J AC220 / 240
• Arduino
• Electrical Flex
• 1kΩ Resistor

Steps

1. Check the datasheet for relay specifications.
2. Connect the relay to the circuit, make sure the poles are correctly identified.
3. Connect the +5V of the relay to the VCC of the Arduino.
4. Connect the GND of the relay to the GND of the Arduino.
5. Connect the COM contact to an Arduino output pin.
6. Connect the NO contact to a 1kΩ resistor, then to GND.
7. Write a simple sketch to control the relay.
8. Test the relay with a button to control the current.

Example code

```
int relayPin = 9;
void setup() {
  pinMode(relayPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(relayPin, HIGH);
  delay(5000);
  digitalWrite(relayPin, LOW);
  delay(5000);
}
```
