The transistor 188 is one of my favorites, simply because even being so tiny it’s able to handle currents as high as 1 Amp. Understanding BEL188 Transistor Specification/Datasheet The transistor BEL188 is a general purpose transistor, and due to its wide voltage and current rating can be used for almost all small to medium power […]

9 Simple Solar Battery Charger Circuits
Simple solar charger circuits are small devices which allow you to charge a battery quickly and cheaply, through solar panels. A simple solar charger circuit must have 3 basic features built-in: In this post I will comprehensively explain nine best yet simple solar battery charger circuits using the IC LM338, transistors, MOSFET, buck converter, etc […]
Using Triacs for Controlling Inductive Loads
Here I have tried to investigate a few enhanced triac based phase controller circuits which can be recommended for controlling or operating inductive loads like transformers and AC motors much safely than earlier traditional triac based circuit dimmer circuits. Using Triacs for Controlling AC Loads A Triac is a semiconductor device used for switching AC […]
How to Make an Incubator Timer Optimizer Circuit
A timer circuit design which could be used for turning the position of the eggs in an incubator between predetermined intervals of time was requested to me by one of the keen readers of this blog, Mr. Eugene. The requested circuit has been exclusively designed by me and published here, Circuit Specifications Let’s hear the […]
Designing Simple Power Supply Circuits
In this post I have explained how to design and build a simple power supply circuit right from the basic design to the reasonably sophisticated power supply having extended features. Power Supply is Indispensable Whether it’s an electronic noob or an expert engineer, all require this indispensable piece of equipment called the power supply unit. This is because no electronics […]
6 Useful DC Cell phone Charger Circuits Explained
A DC cell phone or mobile phone charger is a device which charges a cellphone from an available DC supply source. The device converts the unregulated DC source into a constant current and constant voltage output which becomes safe for any mobile phone charging. In this article I have explained how to build DC to […]
