.. zero. The capacitor (C1) is in the circuit to provide a degree of filtering to prevent nuisance tripping. A value of around 10 nF to 100 nF should suit most applications. Note that in the absence of a load, the circuit draws no power at all ...
.. and low duty cycle of the activation are helpful. The 1N2976 diodes in Figure 1 are rated for continuous dissipation of 10 W. Figure 1. This circuit creates dc pulses for use with control circuitry located at the load. Figure 2 shows the ...
.. NTC devices with what they maintain is 50% higher accuracy. For example, the TMP61 is a highly linear PTC thermistor with 10-kΩ nominal resistance at 25 C, with 1% maximum nonlinearity from 0 to 70 C and a 40 to +125 C operating range ...
.. a Elgin 4028 available at drugstores for around $7. 1x 100 uF / 25 V electrolytic capacitor 2x 1 k ohm 1/4 W resistors 1x 10 k ohm 1/4 Q resistor 1x 2N3904 general purpose NPN switching transistor. 1x Pin-compatible 4066 chip (such as the ...
.. Current (IF(peak)) rating in the datasheet. As an example: IF(peak) = 160 mA Condition: Pulse Width = 1 msec and Duty = 1/10 Which means, it is safe to switch the LED with 1 kHz, where the LED is on for 1 msec and off for 9 msecs. Most of the ...
.. wind turbine . Again -- if you're thinking of building something like this -- read that page, read the page about the 10 foot wind turbines, and between it all you should be able to put it together. The inside dimensions (the hole in the ...
Here is a teleremote circuit which enables switching ‘on’ and ‘off’ of appliances through telephone lines. It can be used to switch appliances from any distance, overcoming the limited range of infrared and radio remote ...
.. and provide a buffered, low-impedance output at V OUT . In addition, the TLC372's high typical input impedance of 10 12 Ω eliminates any need for an input buffer stage. As Figure 1 shows, the detector's output voltage at the ...
.. cheap to build. You will only need one NTC resistor, one diode and capacitor and serial port connector. Elements: Capacitor 10 uF or more Diode 1N4148 or 1N4001 or similar Thermistor NTC 10k or similar 9 or 25 pin female connector Built device ...
.. exceeds a preset limit. The continuity tester in Figure 1 lets you determine that fact for resistances of 0.5 Ω to 10 kΩ. The heart of the circuit is the transistor pair comprising Q 1 and Q 2 , whose emitters draw current from a ...
