DESCRIPTION
This project is designed to develop a touch sensitive switch to control any load. A 555 timer is used in monostable mode to drive a relay to switch ON a load for fixed time duration. The 555 timer is triggered by a touch plate connected to its trigger pin. The output of 555 delivers logic high for a fixed time interval as decided by the RC time constant connected to the timer.Get output video and other information about this project by visiting the page: http://www.edgefxkits.com/touch-controlled-load-switch

TOUCH CONTROLLED LOAD SWITCH
ABSTRACT
The project is designed to develop a touch sensitive switch to control any load. A
555 timer is used in monostable mode to drive a relay to switch ON a load for fixed time
duration.
The 555 timer is triggered by a touch plate connected to its trigger pin. The output
of 555 delivers logic high for a fixed time interval as decided by the RC time constant
connected to the timer. This output drives a relay which in turn switches ON the load for
that duration after which is switches OFF automatically. Human body induced mains
supply develops a voltage on the touch plate to trigger the timer.
