A few months ago, I made a “Fritzing part” for a 2-channel relay, and posted it here. It seems to be one of my most popular posts to-date. I guess a lot of people need those files.
A few people have asked me to make a Fritzing part for SunFounder 4 Channel 5V Relay Shield Module (click to download zip from my OneDrive public share). The drawing was pretty easy and the fritzing part was pretty easy, but getting the two to overlay properly has taken me a few months and I still don’t quite have it perfect. I am posting it anyway. The only problem is that the nice graphic (like below) is stretched weird. So I also have one that is squooshed. When it is stretched, it is just-right.
Give it a try. I hope it saves you some time and I hope you find it useful. If anyone can figure out why it is stretching my drawing so weird, I would be glad to fix it and re-post it.
Download: (if my onedrive link doesn’t work, try my onedrive public folder)
Update: Aw, I totally forgot to give instructions on how to install this. Fortunately in the comments (below) Dou2abou gave some good instructions. (pg dn x2).
Aah, the pain of being an elitist 
Hi! Which version of Fritzing did you use to create this part? I am trying to import the part and I am getting an error: http://take.ms/GYTy8. Thanks!
Hey! Thank you for posting this, it is just what I need. However, I am new to Fritzing, and have no idea how to import the part. I keep getting an error message. It’s probably just because I’m a noob, but google isn’t helping much. Thanks again.
Just because you’re new doesn’t mean you get to call yourself noob buddy. You’re new that’s all.
Anyway, when you want to download this file, save it to Documents (or where you saved Fritzing) > Fritzing > parts > contrib, then unzip it in the contrib folder.
When you’re done, go to your Fritzing schematic, click CTRL + O (File > open) and then click on the relay file and voila.
I can’t seem to open the 4-channel fritzing schematic. The 2-channel opens just fine. Can you please repost.
Great. This works fine. Just skip the errors and the final file available should work.
Can you please re-check the part again, I am also getting a file(zip%d) error with this part and I would love to use it!
Thanks for this great part. Can you please do a 8-channel part also?
Any update on this? I think the download is corrupted? Can you repost?
I just tried it and it seems to work. I am on a PC with Win 10. How about you?
I have tried both Win7 and Linux, still no joy on loading the “4-Channel 5v Relay Shield.fzpz” file, sorry.
Hi Tim, I’m also on Win10 but I am also getting a file(zip%d) error with this part and I would love to use it!
Thanks, Bert
Several people have reported this problem but I can’t seem to repeat it. I have Win 10 at home and Win 7 at work. The zip file seems to work on all of them. Could you retry the download or try it on another machine? I wish I knew the cause of this, so I could fix it.
Hi Tim,
I have tried it again on both Linux Mint and Win7 with the same %d error. Sorry, I wish I could help more. The svg images are fine, it seems to be the fzpz file that is at fault somehow. Thanks!
Hi, can you please make a 4 channel relay module that looks like this: http://www.minikits.com.au/RELAY-4-5V-MOD
I really need it for my thesis 😦
The pinouts are very similar, the control pins are just located in a different spot. You don’t think my current drawing will pass? 🙂
Hi, Firstly thanks for your efforts.
I know fzpz file is of a simple zip. So I added .zip to its file name, and tried to open it.
My uncompressing program said like “This file is a parted ZIP, but other parted files(.z01, .z02..) are missing, so can’t open it”. I hope this message gives you some hint for zipping parts file.
Thanks~
Wow. You are right! I didn’t realize that the fzpz is a zip file. I was able to re-export my part again and it seems to work now. Thank you for your help! It is fixed!
Thank you!
Thank you. Everything works great!
Hi! any chance you could do an 8 channel relay?
haaai. thank you for this 4 channel relay!
Hi ! I’m trying to download it, but none of the links work ! Can you please correct it ?
Nice work btw !
Okay. I think maybe my public OneDrive link expired. I will add another link to my OneDrive Public share folder.
Link doesn’t work anymore 😦
Can you please reupload?
Thank you again!
Yikes. You are right. I just removed the broken link (to my old server), and added some (more obvious) links to my OneDrive share. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you for this epic relay parts!
If you have issues unzipping the files, try a different software for extracting it. It wouldn’t work for me with windows default file extractor but worked with 7-Zip.
