Impulse switch made with transistors - Interruption of another circuit or electrical charges without timing

Reading time: <1 minut

How does the project work?

The assembly is based on two PNP transistors (BC557) and one NPN (BC337). Each time the SW1 button is pressed, the contact relay will be activated / deactivated.

At start-up (SW1 = ON), the voltage at the base of T1 and T2 is equal to the supply voltage. The base of T3 is grounded, which causes relay K1 to activate and LED1 to be active. The circuit shown absorbs a current of only 0.1uA in standby.

List of required components:

1 x Breadboard test board + connecting wires

1 x R2 = 100k
1 x R3 = 1k
1 x R4 = 100k
1 x R5 = 1k
1 x R6 = 1k
1 x R7 = 2.7k
1 x Push-button (SW1)
1 x C1 = 10uF
1 x C2 = 220uF
1 x C3 = 1uF
1 x D1 = 1N4148
1 x LED1
1 x Relay (K1) = 5V
1 x T1 = BC557
1 x T2 = BC557
1 x T3 = BC337 / 2N2222
