Hi everybody
I want to make an circuit with 555 IC that connects a relay for 10 to 15 seconds and then disconnects for 2 to 3 seconds and repeats.
any one can help me ?

 

Welcome to AAC!

Do you want to make an attempt on your own? If you do that, we can guide you past any obstacles you encounter and you'll learn more that way.

 

I want to make an circuit with 555 IC that connects a relay for 10 to 15 seconds and then disconnects for 2 to 3 seconds and repeats.

You want that cycle to continue indefinitely?
A 555 configured as an astable can do that.

What type of relay?

How will you turn the circuit on and off, by just applying and removing power?

 

Yes, keep doing this as long as it is connected to the power supply.
5V relay like this:

Yes, only by switching the voltage on and off

 

I try to do it myself, but I'm not familiar with electronics.

If you want to try on your own, this is all the information you need:

You want t1 to be 10-15 seconds and t2 to be 2-3 seconds. Frequency and duty cycle calculations aren't relevant.

EDIT: Since you're learning, you should know that Nat Semi drew the schematic "backwards". Flow should be primarily left to right and top to bottom. Inputs should be primarily on the left side of the symbol and outputs should be on the right. There are exceptions, but their symbol is awful.

Like this:

If that's too much, I can generate a circuit for you.

 

@Reza_liaghat It's straightforward. You have two equations with 2 unknowns (you pick a value you like for C). Solve for t2, substitute values for RB and C into the t2 equation and solve for RA.

The only consideration is that larger electrolytic capacitors will be leaky and affect timing.

 

@dl324 gave you a nice schematic. I've copied and pasted it below so you can follow what I'm telling you:

C1 charges through the total resistance of R1 + R2 and discharges only through R1. So using the formulas above R1 will be the lower value resistor. Since two resistors in series (R1 & R2) form a higher value resistance the cap (C1) will charge slowly through the resistor pair. During this time pin 3 will be active high, meaning it will actuate the relay. When C1 reaches 2/3 the supply voltage (2/3 of 5V) the 555 will toggle pin 3 to active low and pin 7 will begin discharging C1 While it discharges pin 3 will be low. If you want the opposite functioning then R1 should be the higher value of the two resistors.

Q1 (2n3906 PNP Transistor) will be ON when pin 3 is active LOW. For what you describe you won't need the RLOAD, R3, LED1, R4 and LED2. The relay takes the place of R4 & LED2. Since I haven't yet looked up the relay you say you're using I'll just say it needs to work on the supply voltage. Whether you use 5V or anything higher up to (I think) 15V (not sure, check the spec sheet) the relay will have to operate on that chosen voltage. The contact current handling needs to be rated at or above the load you're going to use it to switch. It's always better to go 33% over rating to 50% over rating. Some people may choose double the rating. For instance; should a load draw 10 amps, the contacts should be able to handle 13.3 amps using the 33% over rating. 15 amps would be 50% over rating and double would be 20 amps. It's up to you to decide what you need the circuit to do and how robust you want to make it. You don't want to go way over the amperage rating either. Doing so just means the contacts will get dirty and fail sooner than later.

 

I think we might have lost the TS after post #5.

But you did not lose those of us who enjoyed the review of 555 timer circuits. Thanks for the added caution on amperage ratings.

 

hi dear
if i want make a timer that 8 sec on 1 sec off 1 sec on 1.5 sec off repeat , what should I do ? what ic do this ?

You should use an MCU, possibly something like an ATTINY.

 

Personally I recommend the Picaxe 08M2 micro.

How about this?
LTspice simulation below:
Green trace is relay coil current.

@crutschow did you see poet #12?

 

Excellent, thank you !!!

Yes, but I didn't read it closely enough to realize he'd changed the requirements.

This is why it should be an MCU.
