    Which push button switch do I need?

    Dear All, I want to install a so-called 'kill switch' in my electric guitar and I need a specific switch that DOES allow electricity to pass through in 'normal' mode, but NOT when you press it. The switch should also spring back automatically when you press it. I found the following on bol.com...

    Latching switch to trigger a dual edge pulse?

    Hi all, I am a mechanical engineer and very limited in my electronics knowledge so please forgive me if this is a fairly simple question for you wizards. I am working on a hobby project where I'm fitting an Intel NUC into a GameCube case. I want to reuse the GC's original power switch, which...

    Questions about Buck converter

    What is the role and purpose of the 470uf capacitor? Is it simply disconnected because it's connected in parallel with 330uF? And 5 pin out is 15V pulse or low pulse? What is the expected transformer ratio?

    Controlling relay module by using snap switches, no R Pi's or Arduinos

    I have a mechanical system I'm building and I want to use snap switches to control the order of operations. The order will be something like this. 1. Run 1 revolution of the electric motor, then stop motor. 2. Activate solenoid. 3. Activate second electric motor for 1 revolution. 4. Begin...

    Sequential Manual Switches with Logic Gates

    I am currently working on a project (Tesla Coil) and I built a very simple controller which connects to the neon sign transformer (NST). First there is a main switch which connects to the 120V mains and then a second "activate" switch which provides power to the NST. This is the current design...

    Like a CD4053BN but with more switches

    Hi, The CD4053B has only 3 identical bilateral analog spdt switches on it. Does anyone know of any chip that has more so I don't have to buy too many of these? Thanks.

    What is the simplest switch circuit I can build for a 30-amp (220v) machine?

    I was considering using a Rele but they don't work very well with high current (the ones that work are expensive) since its a high current I need the circuit to hold and at the same time not have much resistance when the current is passing through it. Is there any circuit I could use? I think...

    Repairing Christmas/Fairy Lights

    I have a little experience with wiring after having to hot-wire my aftermarket radio in my car when changing it out, however I do not know how to fix this issue. The wires in the plug were loose and the lights were not turning on because of this, so i cut it off and figured it'd be as simple as...

    Guitar effect on stripboard, tips for ignorants

    Hello everyone, I am new to the forum. I am not an electronics guy, but as an engineer, and a fairly manual person, I think I will be able to juggle enough. I want to build a guitar pedal from scratch (starting from "easy level"), to help me I used a graphic app on which to convert the diagram...

    Tough and stiff switch

    Hello, I’m looking for a strong high quality switch with very high actuation force, I will control two loads with it and need a center off position like this: ON-OFF-ON. A ON-ON-ON switch will work too. Number of poles doesn’t matter, rocker or toggle doesn’t matter. It need to be no bigger than...

    Power switch PMOS controlled by button or Microcontroller (or both)

    Hello, I´m trying to design an analog circuit to use a push button to turn on an MCU and then use it the same push button to change modes. A "one push button circuit". To achieve that, I used a pmos to work as a switch on the power signal and then used a 2 nmos circuit for or signal circuit that...

    How does this four-pin reset switch work?

    Hello, I am studying a schematic, and am not sure how this reset switch is supposed to work: I cannot find any other switch that uses this symbol, and it just looks like all of the pins are shorted to ground. I don't understand why/how this switch works on the actual board. Is anyone able to...
