It accepts 10–15V DC input, handles up to 10 amps, and supports both momentary (self-resetting) and alternate (self-holding) switch inputs. Built-in LEDs show the active direction so you can confirm operation at a glance, and the module draws no standby power when the control switch is off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the module reverse a motor or actuator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board swaps motor polarity using a pair of relay outputs arranged to change connections to the load. When the control signal selects forward, one relay set completes the circuit; when reverse is selected, the opposite relay set connects, reversing polarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElectromechanical relays provide reliable polarity switching for DC loads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForward and reverse LEDs indicate which relay set is engaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with both momentary and latching control switches for flexible operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat wiring and voltage requirements should I follow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower the module with a DC supply between 10 and 15 volts, matching the voltage rating of your motor or actuator.

It fits projects such as automated gates, sliding mechanisms, robotics, or retrofit motion control where a small footprint, visible direction indication, and the option of momentary or latching control are required. For setups exceeding 10A or requiring PWM speed control, consider a heavier-duty relay module or an H-bridge motor controller designed for variable speed and higher currents.\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: Can this module handle a 12V 8A motor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the module is rated for up to 10A continuous at 10–15V DC, so a 12V 8A motor is within its specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will the module draw power when idle?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No — when the control switch is not engaged the module does not consume electrical power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"OONO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55164653142359,"sku":"B0879GGVPZ","price":32.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/oono-forward-reverse-relay-front-view.jpg?v=1790353977","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/oono-forward-reverse-relay-module-for-motors-and-linear-actuators-12v-dc-10a-leds","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
