    This circuit uses a 555 timer to activate and deactivate a relay, which controls power to an electrical device. Manual switches are used to trigger the 555 timer - switch 1 enables the device by changing the voltage on pin 2, causing the 555 output to activate the relay through a transistor. Switch 2 disables the device by changing the voltage on pin 6, causing the 555 output to deactivate the relay. The circuit allows portable on/off control of a device using a simple circuit with commonly available components.

    ON-OFF Switch circuit using a 555 timer

    This ON-OFF Switch circuit using a 555 timer is simple, useful and easy to implement. This circuit has many
    applications on places where it is necessary to activate and deactivate (connect and disconnect) an electrical or
    electronic device.

    How the ON-OFF Switch circuit works?


    This ON-OFF Switch circuit uses the known 555 timer. The timer activates a relay through a bipolar transistor in
    order to connect or disconnect the device we want to control. Manual activation is performed through two
    momentary contact switches. Switch 1 (SW1) is used to enable and Switch 2 (SW2) is used to disable the device.

    When the circuit is operating, activation switch 1 causes:

    The voltage on pin 2 of timer 555, change sharply from 12 V to 0 volts. (triggers the 555). The timer output (pin 3)
    passes to a nearby 12-volt voltage.
    The 12 volts, at the output of the 555, activates the relay through the transistor Q1 (the transistor enters the
    saturation region)

    To deactivate the relay (and disable the device we want to control) switch 2 (SW2) is pressed. When the switch 2 is
    pressed the voltage on pin 6 of the 555 timer changes temporarily to 12 volts. The output of the 555 (pin 3) will
    have a voltage close to 0 volts, the transistor will be in its cutoff region, and the relay will be disabled.

    The next two diagrams show the proposed PCB for this circuit and an image of what would be the finished circuit.
    On the last diagram we see two connections made by the component side (blue). To see them well, you only need
    to expand a little the diagram.

    Note: The circuit works well in a range of 5 to 15 volts. You can use a 9 volt battery so you have a portable circuit.
