This single MOSFET solid-state relay SSR circuit is a very simple where you can drive an AC load like a lamp, motor, or any oter AC load, through a small DC control voltage. We use only one IRF840 MOSFET to switch the 220V AC load, and we do this with some clever diode bridge arrangement, […]

RC Snubber Calculator for MOSFETs, Relay Contacts and Triacs
This calculator is basically finding out two things: …so that we can make a perfect RC snubber for killing high voltage spikes across: Now let us break down everything it’s calculating. RC Snubber Calculator Application Type: MOSFETTRIACRelay Contact Peak Voltage (V): Peak Current (A): Rise Time (µs): Calculate Snubber © homemade-Circuits.com Basic Snubber Formula Logic […]
Clap Switch Circuits with Relay ON/OFF: [Tested]
The clap switch circuits explained here will toggle a connected load ON and OFF in response to alternate clap sounds? Here I have explained 4 unique and simple designs which can be selected as per user preference. The article talks about what the title suggests – a clap switch. A small electronic circuit when built […]
Temperature Controlled Relay Switch Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple temperature controlled relay circuit which can be switched ON/OFF depending on the temperature on its temperature sensor. Meaning, when the temperature on its temperature sensor rises above a set threshold point, the relay switches ON, and when the temperature drops below the threshold, the relay switches OFF. […]
Thermostat Delay Relay Timer Circuit
The circuit given below describes a time delay relay system which is used for keeping a hot air blower working under a specifically programmed timing sequence. The idea was requested by Mr. Doug Shadix, I have explained more: Technical Specifications Hi Swagatam,Looks like you know your stuff when it comes to these timer circuits, this one […]
Transformerless Relay Driver Stage
In this post I have explained an enhanced transformerles power supply circuit design which consists a well stabilized and regulated DC stage along with a relay driver stage which operates through an external pulse. he idea was suggested by Mr. Reza. Technical Specifications Reza: Dear Sir, I have a problem with one Circuit regarding converting […]
