they have these things..... SSR (solid state relay) 4 pin dip..... >1 amp, 60 v...... this is at Digikey but should be able to get most anywhere

My requirements:
- can easily handle 800mA at 9V (to drive a solenoid),
- will be used in single bursts, not continuously,
- can be triggered using 5V signal,
- low cost,
- small footprint (as...
Yeah, about that. Solenoid barely moves at 5V. I just tested on a bench PS and it really starts working closer to 7V. 9V and it gives a nice "snap".
I'd love to find a transistor like the...
Yeah, I quickly dropped the MCT6 when I checked the specs.
I toyed with the 2N7000, but I've since switched to a IRF730A mosfet; works flawlessly (I just have to properly calculate the base...
data sheet said 5v solenoid is about .7 amps.... 700 ma, and that opto thing data said 30 ma continous..... need a better driver ckt, can use a transistor or a DIP ss relay good for up to 1 amp
amgen Yesterday, 20:51Of course. By changing the resistance R3, or the value of the capacitor C1, or a combination of both.
louislouis - 20th July 2025, 12:04I’m using this circuit.
When the button is pressed, the relay switches on for one second and then turns off.
It doesn’t matter whether the button is pressed briefly or held down - the circuit...
I'd like to activate a solenoid for a brief moment. Does this timer look correct?

- I added a large cap alongside the solenoid; value is just preliminary.
- the opto is to isolate the...
Re: MOSFET selection
Very interesting, I wasn't aware of these puppies. I have 5V 100mA mechanical relays similar to these:
