2 Simple Circuit Relay Based Motorcycle Alarms - Motorcycle Alarm Circuits: These are two - easy to build - relay-based alarms. You can use them to protect your motorcycle - but they have many more applications. if you use relays with 6-volt coils - they'll protect your "Classic Bike". Both alarms are very small. The completed boards occupy about half a cubic-inch - 8 cc. The standby current is zero - so they won't drain your battery. __ Designed by Ron J.
220V Solid State Flashing Lamp with 555 - This 220V mains operated solid state flashing lamp circuit uses a 555 timer IC to control the ON and OFF times of a TRIAC which controls power to the load. The power supply for the IC is obtained by half wave rectifier (D1) , a stabilizer circuit (D2 and R1) and filter capacitor C1. The lamp stays ON for about 1 second and OFF __ Designed by Popescu Marian

50ua Current Drives Solid State Relay Requires Only - Most solid state relays require at least 5ma and often more input control current, to fully turn on the device. But such current levels often force battery powered circuits to use excessively large batteries. The relay hobby circuit shown below demands only 50uA of input current . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-June, 2000
555 (TLC555) Relay Driver - Many integrated circuits have undocumented features or abilities. This is one of them. The TLC555 output (pin 3) can sink a 100mA load to 1.28V. The open drain transistor reset (pin 7) can sink 100mA to 1V. Tying both lines together is permissible because they are logically the same polarity and this potentially doubles the __ Designed by Jim Keith
555 Timer MonoStable using Pushbutton - The two circuits above illustrate using the 555 timer to close a relay for a predetermined amount of time by pressing a momentary N/O push button. The circuit on the left can be used for long time periods where the push button can be pressed and released before the end of the timing period. For shorter periods, a capacitor can be used to isolate the switch __ Designed by Bill Bowden

6a, 6v Relay Solar Charge Control - This 6V solar charge regulator meets most small-scale 6V application requirements. With a current rating of 6A, it can handle up to a 50W solar panel. its principle of operation is very simple and there is only one adjustment: cut-out voltage. Many inexpensive commercial solar charges available use, I believe, this technique. However, this particular […]__
741 Based Light Sensor - The circuit as shown act as a light sensor. Under normal conditions the resistance of the LDR is high, keeping pin 2 low. When light falls onto the LDR the resistance drops to a couple hundred ohms and triggers pin 2 high which biases the base of Q1 via pin 6 and R4 and in turn activates the relay __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR

AC Line Current Detector - This circuit will detect AC line currents of about 250 mA or more without making any electrical connections to the line. Current is detected by passing one of the AC lines through an inductive pickup (L1) made with a 1 inch diameter U-bolt wound with 800 turns of #30, #35 magnet wire. The pickup could be made from other iron type rings or __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Alternating On-Off Switch, #2 - This circuit is the transistor version of the 4069 CMOS
type. Every press of the push-button will activate or de-activate the relay. if you decide to mofify the circuit for 9V or higher, make sure the working voltage of the electrolytic capacitors are 25V instead of 16V. The BC557B and BC337-40 are European transistors manufactured by Philips in the Netherlands. Replacements such as the 2N3406 (PNP) , 2N3904 (NPN) , are okay, just watch the pin orientation which differs in regards to the collector/emitter __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Analog switch lowers relay power consumption - 20-Dec-01 EDN Design Ideas: Designers often use relays as electrically controlled switches. Unlike transistors, their switch contacts are electrically isolated from the control input. However, the power dissipation in a relay coil may render the device unattractive in battery-powered applications. You can lower this dissipation by adding an analog switch that allows the relay to operate at a lower voltage (Figure 1) Design by Steve Caldwell, Maxim Integrated Products, Chandler, AZ
