How to Connect 5mm LEDs to a 3.7V Li-Ion Cell
In this article I have explained regarding how to connect and illuminate a few 5mm LEDs using a 3.7V Li-Ion cell, normally used in cell phones. I keep receiving requests from the readers who seem confused with the connection details of 5mm LEds with a 3.7V Li-ion cell. The requests inspired me to write this […]
Parallel MOSFET Calculator Tool: How to Connect MOSFETs in Parallel Safely
The following calculator tool can be used to correctly calculate all the parameters essential for connecting many number of MOSFETs in parallel. This ensures the current handling by the MOSFETs is implemented optimally, without any issues or technical errors, and keeps the MOSFETs safe for long term operations. MOSFET Parallel Calculator Total Load Current (Amps) […]
How to Connect a Relay through an Opto-Coupler
In the following post I have explained how to drive a relay by using an isolated method, or through an optocoupler device. We will learn three methods, first method is by connecting relay directly with the optocoupler output pins, second method is by using external PNP transistors, and third method is by using external NPN […]
How to Connect a TSOP1738 IR Sensor
TSOP17XX series devices are advanced infrared sensors having a specified center frequency of operation which makes their detection extremely reliable and foolproof. In this post I have explained how to connect a TSOP series infrared sensor and use it for a specified IR remote control operations. TSOP IR Sensor Specifications A TSOP series of IR […]
How a Relay Works – How to Connect N/O, N/C Pins
An electrical relay consists of a electromagnet and a spring loaded changeover contacts. When the electromagnet is switched ON/OFF with a DC supply, the spring loaded mechanism is corresponding pulled and released by this electromagnet, enabling a changeover across the end terminals of these contacts. An external electrical load connected across these contacts are subsequently […]
