| DC Motor 10V - Creates noise in power line |

Hello, I have the below timer swich with NE555 timer on my breadboard and when I connect the DC motor at the tranzistor (BD139) the output stays high only for 1sec instead of 24seconds. If I connect a capacitor "C4" 220nF or 1uF parallel with the motor the output stays ON approximately 19sec which again is not right. I connect the oscilloscope at the power line and I saw spikes even with tha parallel capacitor with the motor. Does anyone know how can I solve this problem (I don't want to use mosfet or optocoupler)? |

You can try putting a 0.1 ufd capacitor right at the motor terminals. DC brushed motors are always noisy. |

Put a 100uF paralleled with a .1uF directly from the + motor terminal to ground. How do you checked for 24-Sec timing with the motor disconnected? |

As rstofer says, DC motors are noisy. A good way of silencing them is 100 nF across the motor terminals and 2 x 22 nF from each motor terminal to motor case. All three caps should sit directly on the motor. |
