Triacs are one of the most important active electronic components which are exclusively used for power switching applications, these devices are especially suited to AC mains loads, and are able to switch large currents consistently. Triacs are the solid state replacements to mechanical relays, and come configured as static relays. The modern triacs today are highly sophisticated […]

High Current Transistor TIP36 – Datasheet, Application Note
If you are looking for a power transistor able to support high current upto 25 amps and yet not incorporate the traditional cumbersome TO-3 package, then the TIP36 would certainly impress you. High Current from Smaller Package The package of TIP36 is TO-3P which means the accompanied heatsink would require just a single hole to be drilled and […]
Making a Multi-function Water Level Controller Circuit
The following multi-function water level controller circuit post is based on the suggestions expressed by Mr. Usman. I have explained more about the requested modifications and the circuit details. The Circuit Suggestion: The concept of this circuit looks good. May I suggest a couple of other desirable features? 1) To protect the motor from potential overheating (or […]
Designing a Grid-Tie Inverter Circuit
A grid tie inverter works quite like a conventional inverter, however the power output from such inverter is fed and tied with the AC mains from the utility grid supply. As long as the mains AC supply is present, the inverter contributes its power to the existing grid mains supply, and stops the process when […]
3 Step Automatic Battery Charger/Controller Circuit
Generally it is noticed that while charging batteries people hardly pay any special attention toward the procedures. For them charging a battery is simply connecting any DC supply with matching voltage with the battery terminals. How to Correctly Charge a Lead Acid Battery I have seen motor garage mechanics charge all types of batteries with the same power […]
Remote Controlled Toy Car using 433 MHz Remote Modules
This circuit will enable reverse-forward, left-right control of a toy car through 433 MHz RF remote control modules or any similar RF remote modules. The market may be full of these hi-end remote controlled toy cars, but for a hobbyists making one at home can be entirely a different experience. The article below explains how to configure […]
