Specifications Input supply 12VDC @ 42 mA On Board 5V Regulator provides 5V output Output SPDT Relay Relay specification 5 A @ 230 VAC Trigger level 2 ~ 9 VDC Header connector for connecting power and trigger voltage Relay operations status LED Power LED Tiny Design Screw terminal connector for easy relay output connections [ ]

Build A Relay Toggle Switch

Half of RL1 and RL2 manipulate the switching and the other is connected to an application. Relays are 200 ohms above ground and at one point are referenced to positive that turns them off. Description: RL1 (which is off) applies plus voltage from its armature and latches RL2 “on”. The application terminals are set to [A]. The condition changes when S1 is activated, voltage is applied to RL2 latching RL1 “on” releasing S1 turns RL2 “off”. RL2’s armature is then directed to R1. Terminals are set to [B]. When S1 is pressed again, the relays negative side are referenced to positive, RL1 turns “off” (there’s no current flow). RL2 turns “on” when S1 is released, terminals are set to [A]. There is slight lag between relays depending on how long S1 is held. Relay Toggle Switch Circuit Diagram Note:  If different relays are used, adjustment of R1’s value may be required. For example, OEG relays (12vdc, 270 ohm coil) need R1 at 60 - 70 ohms. The prime motivation for this design was to avoid ...

Relay Control with MOSFET IRF511

We would like ti show you the circuit is similar to the above, but uses an N-channel MOSFET, as IRF511, 540, 640, etc. instead of the NPN transistor. Smaller MOSFETs can be used, but I do not know the part numbers. I tested the circuit with a IRF640, IRF511, IRFZ34 and REP50N06. The same circuit has three advantages, but requires only a few parts, always off to the relay and do not need a switch debounce. In operation, when the relay is deactivated, the 100uF capacitor charge up to 6 volts. When the button is pressed, is on the capacitor 6 volts at the gate MOSFET. The capacitor voltage (and gate voltage) of 6 ms should drop to 3 volts in about 200 to move enough time for relay contacts. At very slow relay, a larger capacity. With the ratification of the relay, the contacts 12 volts to the resistance produce valid 3.3K 6 volts at the gate, holding that the relay is self-sufficient. The capacitor is then discharged to zero since the relay contact 12 is connected not to the 15K resistor....
