Trying to find 1 v trigger relay
« on: August 17, 2019, 10:46:30 pm »
Anyone know of a read relay at say 1 .v trigger?

A bipolar transistor "triggers" at 0.7V and that can be used to drive a relay.

What's your ultimate goal?

I'm going to guess that you want to trigger a relay when the audio level is greater than a certain amount. If that's not the case you gotta give us more details on what you really trying to do.

Here's a very straightforward idea:

- get a LM3916 and a 555
- build the standard VU-meter circuit that is described in the datasheet; there is also an instructable here:

https://www.instructables.com/id/LM3915LM3916-VU-Meter/

- the LM3916 VU-meter will operate from it's own supply, like +5V

- wire up the 555 as a "monostable multivibrator" which will activate a 5V relay on its output;

- use one of the LED outputs of the LM3916 to activate the trigger input of the 555; which one you choose will determine the trigger level

The LM3915 and LM3916 are obsolete, not made anymore and not in stock at Digikey.
The LM3914 is still made and available only in a tiny, impossible to solder, surface mount package.

Why do you open several threads and so cryptic?  Why don't you explain well what you want and all in one thread? Please don't waste people's time!

I would like to use my mp3 player as a signal generator to relay a3volt power supply , was going to make my own by use of a read relay question is there a better way
