Switch array
In order to allow to use arbitrary type and number of simple tools such as low power electronics (LEDs, fans, etc) in experiments, a module with 8 connectors array was developed. The board utilizes a 74HC595 shift register, allowing to connect more components with less number of pins. The power fed to a component being switched can vary from 5 to 12 volts.
The 8 switch array behaves exactly like a 74HC595 shift register but transistor switches allow bigger currents to flow through connected loads
Do not connect or disconnect connectors while power is ON. All adjustments must be done ONLY when power is OFF.
