Double Down With Dual Band WiFi & DPDT Relay
Check out the new Thing+ with 5GHz capabilities, and the new DPDT Qwiic Relay!
Hello and welcome to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! This week, we ride on the coattails of last week's SparkPNT announcement, with two new boards, The ESP32-C5 Thing+ and the 1x1A DPDT Qwiic Relay! While these two boards cater to completely different applications, we loved the "double" and "dual" theme they provide us with. So, let's double the pleasure, double the fun. It's a statement of our content, here at SparkFun!
This Week's New Products:
$24.95
Delivering some of the best wireless capabilities on the market in a familiar footprint, the SparkFun ESP32-C5 Thing Plus is built to easily handle complex IoT projects, regardless of the wireless communication option you choose. Powered by the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module from Espressif™, this board features a 32-bit RISC-V single-core microprocessor paired with a generous 8MB of Flash memory and 8MB of PSRAM.
The ESP32-C5 module brings a feature not commonly seen in Espressif's family of SoCs by including dual-band WiFi 6 capabilities, giving your devices access to a less congested frequency spectrum alongside other essential connectivity options.
Easily control high-power devices directly from your microcontroller via I2C with the SparkFun Qwiic Relay. Built around the Omron G6K-2F-Y DC3 dual-pole/dual-throw (DPDT) relay, this board allows you to safely switch loads up to 1A at 30VDC or 0.3A at 125VAC (at 40°C). This relay is perfect if you're controlling heavy-duty motors or managing other high-power devices, bridging the gap between low-voltage logic and high-power applications.
This Week's New Price Drops:
Housed in a compact, user-friendly footprint, the SparkFun ESP32-C6 Thing Plus drives your wireless creations like never before.

The SparkFun ESP32-C6 Qwiic Pocket Development Board is designed to fit the 1in. x 1in. Qwiic Standard Size, making it easy to add a powerful wireless development platform that stacks into any existing project using the Qwiic ecosystem. It features the ESP32-C6 Mini-1 module from Espressif™. We designed this board with components on both sides of the PCB to squeeze as many features as possible into its tiny footprint, including a USB-C connector, Qwiic connector, 2-pin JST battery connector with an on-board charging circuit, as well as two buttons for Reset and Boot.
