2 Useful Energy Saver Solder Iron Station Circuits
In this post I have explained how to build a energy efficient soldering iron station circuit for achieving maximum power saving from the unit, by ensuring that it is automatically switched OFF when not being used for sometime. Written and Submitted By: Abu-Hafss DESIGN#1: OBJECTIVE To design a circuit for solder iron which would not […]
Making a “Helping Third Hand” for Aiding Soldering Jobs
In this post I have explained a step by step construction of a “helping third hand” unit for assisting PCB soldering jobs in order to make the job much hassle free. The gadget could be very handy especially for the new hobbyists. The project was constructed and submitted by Master Ss kopparthy. I have explained […]
Adjustable 1.2V to100V DC Buck Converter Circuit using LM5164
Ok now we have this LM5164 chip, and we want to drop voltage from 100V down to let’s say 12V, right? But we also need 1A output so we need to design everything properly. Now this chip is cool because it has ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) so it does not waste much power when it […]
LM35 IC Temperature Controller Circuit with Push Button
In this post I have explained a simple yet very accurate temperature controller circuit using IC LM35, featuring an automatic cut off with a push button latch. LM35 is a precision temperature sensor IC, which can be effectively used for detecting temperature differences accurately. For more details regarding this IC you can refer to this […]
Mains 220 V AC Line Filter Circuit for Transient Suppression
The 220 V mains AC line filter circuit described here has two functions: it prevents high-frequency waves from being sent back into the power network and it protects connected equipment from power line disturbances and surges. This circuit employs a number of components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, and a varistor, which are deliberately positioned […]
