Over Current Trip Switch – Over Current Shutdown Relay
The project presented here is an over-current trip switch. It provides protection to a load when over current condition occurs. Basically, the project trips the relay when there is a short circuit or the load starts drawing much current. When the condition is favorable, press the...

This is an SPI Interface multichannel relay board for high voltage AC or low voltage DC loads. It is ideal for controlling LEDs lights, coffee machines, fans, pumps, or other high-voltage electrical appliances. The board also breaks out the SPI header, so controlling other boards is...
Continue ReadingUnder Voltage Lockout Relay – Latching Voltage Monitor
This project prevents/disconnects the load when an under-voltage condition occurs. The circuit latches the output when input sense voltage drops below the lockout threshold. Lockout threshold voltage can be adjusted using the onboard trimmer potentiometer PR1. Tactile switch SW1 is...
Continue ReadingEasy Prototype Board for SOIC8/MSOP8/SOT23-3/4/5/6 Packages
This is an 8-pin SOIC/MSOP/SOT23-3/4/5/6 prototype board. This is a blank PCB that allows the operation of many chips from various manufacturers. Each device pin is connected to a pull-up resistor, a pull-down resistor, an in-line resistor, and a capacitor on VCC. All pins are...
Continue ReadingDeep Discharge Protector for 3.6V Li-Ion Battery
A rechargeable battery's load should be disconnected at the point of complete discharge, to avoid a further (deep) discharge that can shorten its life or destroy it. Because a battery's terminal voltage recovers when you disconnect the load, you can't simply disconnect the load when...
Continue ReadingBreakout Board for ATX Power Supply – Benchtop Power Supply
This ATX Power supply breakout board enables users to use an ATX power unit as a benchtop power supply. The project can be very useful to power physical computing, embedded, microcontroller projects, etc. The board provides 4 different voltages 3.3V, 5V, 12V, -12V, and a slide switch...
