  • A Simple Three-Component Low Voltage DC Touch Switch
    In this video we take advantage of the MOSFET's insulated gate to create a very simple touch switch that is suitable for low voltage DC applications. It can control higher voltage DC and even AC through the use of a relay.

    HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
    Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
    One of the symptoms is that it causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face..

    It also highlights why you often put a 10k resistor from the Gate to ground.

    This was a GREAT little demo of this simplistic touch circuit - I loved it!! ♥️
    Thanks for sharing AND teaching us!!

    I am definitely including this in some upcoming builds! Thank you for the explanation!

    cool! looks like a nice way to simplify led circuit switches.

    Make a video lesson about the differences between using Depletion VS Enhancement for FETS, when would you a circuit want to use Depletion and when would a circuit use Enhancement?

    You could very easily use this to turn on a high voltage circuit. Use an opti coupler to isolate and a relay for high voltage. Maybe a lamp.

    For high power loads, 10-20mA will energize a 40-100A solid state relay (SSR).

    Please make new video of a DELAY ON TIMER circuit using bc547...
    ON time should be delayed for 30 seconds.

    What's the minimum VCC voltage required for this circuit to work?

      I did it on 5vdc. You might get it to work on 3.3vdc, but it's not enough to fully open the gate. Really, 5vdc isn't either, needs about 9vdc if you want full current flow on the MOSFET.

    Instead of the LED you could have it swiching a transistor that switches a relay.
