I am looking for a way to slow down electricity through a switch. Anybody got any ideas? I need a delay of only about 4-5 milliseconds total. PLEASE HELP!!!!

 

Hey everyone...I am looking for a way to delay electricity by about 4-5 milliseconds. Nothing high-tech is nessessary.....just a delay. Can anybody help?

 

All I could think of is diode (for rectification), RC (for delay) and relay (for switch) inbetween.

May be DIAC inplace of relay.

 

What kind of electricity? AC or DC? What current?

 

Delay how? You want to throw a switch or relay for an extremely short amount of time after you turn it on? I think some clarification is needed.

 

For delaying electricity you could could use traffic signals, but you also have to implement police in the circuit...

 

The TDR782XBXA Time Delay ON relay provides delay time from 0.1 second up to 100 hours.

But the short time you want, I am betting you can use a resistor/capactior charge cycle to delay the turn on.

Is it AC or DC voltage?

Is your signal AC or DC? What voltage and current?
