Magnetic proximity switch.
Here is the circuit diagram of a magnetic proximity switch that finds a lot of applications in many [Link] circuit
is based on a magnetic reed switch(S1) as the proximity sensor. A monostable multivibrator based on NE555 (IC1)
and a toggle flip flop based on CD4013 (IC2) does the rest of the circuit.
When a magnet is reached in proximity of S1 it closes to give a negative trigger at pin 2 of [Link] output of IC1
goes high for a time determines by R2 and [Link] clocks the IC2 wired as a toggle flip [Link] output (pin 1 ) of
IC2 goes high and the transistor Q1 is biased to [Link] relay is activated and so do the equipment connected to
the [Link] LED D1 glows when IC1 is triggered.
Circuit diagram with Parts list.
Notes.
Switch S1 can be a general purpose magnetic reed switch.
The equipment to control can be connected using NC,NO and C points of the relay according to the
application.
Use a 12 regulated power supply for powering the circuit.
