It supports both momentary (self-resetting) and alternate (self-holding) switch types, features clear red\/green LEDs for forward and reverse status, and consumes no power when the control input is idle. The unit accepts 10–15V DC and is rated for continuous currents up to 10 amps, making it suitable for many 12V motor applications where safe, reliable directional switching is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the OONO relay reverse a motor safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module uses an internal reversing relay arrangement that swaps power polarity to the motor or actuator based on the control input. Its design isolates the control switch from high motor currents and provides visible confirmation of direction with distinct LEDs. Built-in wiring terminals and a compact plastic housing simplify installation and mounting in small enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReverses motor polarity for forward and reverse motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed LED indicates forward, green LED indicates reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectrical isolation between control input and load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact case with wire leads for easy mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use both momentary and latching switches with this module?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the module accepts momentary (self-resetting) switches for temporary motion and alternate-action (self-holding) switches for sustained operation. With a momentary switch, the motor runs only while the button is pressed; with a latching switch, the relay remains in the selected state until toggled again. This flexibility makes the unit compatible with pushbuttons, rocker switches, and toggle switches commonly used in control panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMomentary mode: motor runs only while switch is pressed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlternate-action mode: relay latches until switched off\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with standard mechanical pushbuttons and toggles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSimple wiring adjusts behavior without extra components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat electrical limits and supply requirements should I follow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module is designed for 10–15V DC supplies and is optimized for 12V systems. It is rated for up to 10 amps continuous load; ensure your motor or actuator current draw stays within that rating, and account for stall or startup currents which can be higher. For higher currents or inductive loads, add appropriate fuses, motor drivers, or suppression components to protect the relay contacts and power source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating voltage range: 10–15V DC (ideal for 12V systems)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated continuous current: 10 A — check stall\/start currents\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstall inline fuse or circuit protection as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsider flyback diode or snubber for inductive loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow easy is it to install and where can I use it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: mount the module in a protected enclosure, connect the power, motor leads, and control switch according to the wiring diagram, and secure the module using its compact housing. The lightweight plastic case and pre-wired leads fit neatly into DIY control boxes, robotics frames, automotive accessory projects, sliding gates, and linear actuator setups. Because it draws no power when idle, it's efficient for intermittent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact plastic enclosure for small installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-wired leads simplify hookup to motor and switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for hobby robotics, automation, gates, actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo standby power draw when control switch is off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho this is for: Engineers, makers, and installers who need a simple, cost-effective way to add reversible DC motion to 12V projects will find this OONO relay module useful. It’s ideal for DIY automation, garage and gate accessories, robotics, and retrofit applications where a compact reversing switch with visual direction feedback and flexible switch modes is required. For applications exceeding 10A or with significant inductive loads, pair the module with proper protection and consider a heavier-duty relay or motor controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What voltage does the OONO reversing module need?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: It operates on 10–15V DC, optimized for 12V systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can it handle high startup or stall currents?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Rated for 10A continuous; use fuses or a heavier controller for higher stall\/start currents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"OONO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087038099614,"sku":"B0879GGVPZ","price":31.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/oono-front-panel-module.jpg?v=1785914828","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/oono-12v-forward-reverse-relay-module-for-dc-motors-and-linear-actuators-10a-led-status","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
