Simple 5v Relay Circuit

A temperature controlled relay circuit.

Simple 5v relay circuit.

Circuit diagram construction. At the initial condition when switch is open no current flow through coil hence common port of relay is connected to no normally open pin so the. Note that a0 and d0 connect to the micro controller and the 5v and ground to the right of the diagram. This is a simple circuit based upon a multi color led and a general npn transistor.

Today in this article we are going to make a led flasher circuit with a relay. The only link is by the magnetic field. A simple project in which arduino uno controls a 5v relay is explained here. Thermistors are really useful with 5v relays.

The driven relay can then operate as a switch in the circuit which can open or close according to the needs of the circuit and its operation. An on off switch is added for the switching purpose of the relay. A relay accomplishes this by using the 5v outputted from an arduino pin to energize the electromagnet which in turn closes an internal physical switch to turn on or off a higher power circuit. As mentioned earlier by interfacing arduino with 5v relay module we intend to operate an ac load like lamp.

Here is a schematic diagram for a simple circuit that uses a 9 vdc circuit with a handheld pushbutton to turn a 120 vac lamp on and off. A relay driver circuit is a circuit which can drive or operate a relay so that it can function appropriately in a circuit. So let s make this simple circuit. Below is the circuit diagram for simple delay circuit using 555 ic.

In the above circuit 5v relay is powered by a 9v battery. Yes 5v is higher than3v so it will proportionately produce higher delay in that case if you have access to 12v you can apply it only to the rc network of the circuit and feed 3v to the relay this will allow you to get much higher delays without the need of high value caps or alternatively you can employ a voltage multiplier circuit to. You can use them to turn off a large motor if gets too hot or turn on a heater if the. Connect all on your proto board as shown in the diagram.

The relay in the circuit has a coil rated for 9 vdc and a switch rating of 10 a at 117 vac. Let us discuss the working of the project. To show you how to wire the relay let s build a temperature controlled relay circuit that will turn off a light bulb when the temperature of a thermistor reaches 150 f. Here we have used 9 v battery and 5v optional relay for switching the ac load.

A 5v voltage regulator is used for giving 5v regular supply to the circuit. Also check our 1 minute timer circuit using 555. Thus only 9 vdc passes through the handheld pushbutton. The working of the project is based on the functioning of the relay and the ability of arduino to control the relay.
