OONO Forward & Reverse Relay Module for DC Motors and Linear Actuators — 12V 10A with LED Indicators

The OONO Forward and Reverse Relay Module is a compact 12V DC reversing relay that lets you switch motor direction safely and reliably for motors and linear actuators.

This compact module controls forward and reverse motion for DC motors and linear actuators, supporting both momentary and latching switch types. It accepts 10–15V DC input, handles up to 10 amps continuous current, and uses visible LEDs to show direction status. Built in a small plastic enclosure with pre-wired leads, it’s designed for straightforward mounting and quick integration into existing projects where reversible motion is needed.

How does the module reverse motor direction?

The module uses internal relay contacts to swap motor polarity so the connected motor or actuator runs forward or reverse depending on the control input. You select motion via a momentary (self-resetting) switch for temporary operation or an alternate (self-holding) switch for sustained direction.

• Relays change polarity to reverse motor rotation or actuator direction.
• Momentary switch: motor runs only while the switch is pressed.
• Alternate-action switch: press once to set direction, press again to change or stop.
• LEDs indicate forward (red) or reverse (green) so direction is obvious at a glance.

What electrical specifications and limits should I consider?

This relay is rated for DC operation between 10 and 15 volts and can handle up to 10 amps of current, making it suitable for many small motors and linear actuators. Ensure your motor’s stall current and inrush do not exceed the 10A rating, and use appropriate wiring and fusing for safety.

• Operating voltage range: 10–15V DC (nominal 12V).
• Rated continuous current: 10 A; account for motor startup inrush.
• Use a correctly rated fuse or circuit breaker to protect wiring and module.
• Install on a non-conductive surface and keep wiring tidy to avoid shorts.

How do I install and wire the OONO reversing relay?

Installation is straightforward: mount the plastic-cased module in your project, connect the DC power, and wire the motor or actuator to the output leads. Connect the chosen control switch (momentary or alternate) to the control input and verify direction using the LEDs before full operation.

• Mount the compact plastic case using screws or adhesive to a stable surface.
• Connect 10–15V DC supply to the module’s power input leads, observing polarity.
• Attach motor/actuator to the module’s output wires; test with a low-load run first.
• Use the red LED to confirm forward and the green LED to confirm reverse operation.

What features help with everyday use and troubleshooting?

Visible forward and reverse LEDs give immediate feedback about the module’s state, and the module draws no power when the control switch is off. The simple wire-lead design and compact case make it easy to inspect and replace if needed, and compatibility with common switch types reduces wiring complexity.

• Forward LED lights red; reverse LED lights green for quick diagnostics.
• No standby power consumption when control switch is off.
• Pre-wired leads simplify swaps and maintenance.
• Compact footprint fits into tight enclosures or retrofit applications.

Who this is for: Makers, hobbyists, and technicians working with small DC motors or linear actuators who need reliable, reversible motion control will find this OONO relay module useful. It’s a good match for automation projects, DIY lifts and slides, prototype rigs, and any application where clear directional indication, simple wiring, and compatibility with both momentary and latching switches are important. Avoid using it where currents regularly exceed 10 A or where industrial-grade protections are required; in those cases select a higher-rated relay or contactor.
