4027 toggle

I'm trying to set up a toggle output with simply a cd4027BE, 12volt supply. I've got J and K tied to 12 volt, set and reset grounded, and the button between the clock and +12v. I'm having trouble and I think it's because I need some kind of resistors in the circuit.

 

You put your post on an expired thread. That's a good way to have it ignored.

Is your button debounced?

 

Nope. is a 555 the easiest way?

 

Don't forget that the 4027 has TWO flip flops! You must have ALL unused inputs of a 4000 series CMOS IC tied to either Vdd or Vss, or your IC may oscillate unpredictably and overheat.
You can connect them directly (hard-wired), or through a resistor - but they must not be allowed to "float".
