Great forum!
I've been trying to figure out exactly what I need but I don't understand the lingo so I'm confused. I'll explain what I'm wanting.
I have a switch that switches a ground on/off which then grounds the unit so the 12v power lead turns on the unit. It has 2 leads coming off the switch which are basically both grounds. One lead you actually ground, the other end is what switches to the other lead to complete the grounding circuit. That grounding lead is connected to a 12v unit that has a 12v lead and a ground lead (this ground is what is connected to the switch).
Here's where the delay relay comes in. In my application the switching (on/off events) can happen frequently from vibrations. I'd like to delay the on/off events so that the switching only happens if an ON event is consistently being made for X amount of seconds and for it to switch off only when an OFF event is consistently being made for X amount of seconds.
I hope that makes sense...
I don't need this to be an expensive high quality thing by any means. And the smaller the better.
Something small & cheap like these would be fine:
http://www.amazon.com/PowerArt-Switch-Adjustable-Module-Electrical/dp/B00CRYUSR2
http://www.amazon.com/Power-OFF-Delay-Relay-Module-Circuit/dp/B00EZJMADC/
But I'm not sure if those units function how I need.
Thanks a lot guys!!
