Question about piface digital 2

acca

Hello

I have a piface digital 2, i'd like to know the max rated voltage for the relays

It is written 250VAC 10A on the relays body but 20V 5A on the element 14 product page.

Could someone help me please ?

    Not super familiar with this product, but my impression from looking at the photos is that relays reside on the piface board.  Could it be a case that the relays themselves handle up to 250VAC but there are other components on the board that restrict its use to a lower voltage.  Even the spacing of the traces, if they are too close can restrict the voltage level.
