Overview

Delaytimer is an open-source printed circuit board by synfinatic, from the synfinatic/delaytimer repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 39.9 × 33.8 mm with 22 parts on 15 nets, routed with 129 tracks and 5 vias.

It is built around the NE555, MMBT3904 and MMBT3906, with the IRLML6344 among its other parts. Its parts include 9 resistors, 5 transistors, 3 capacitors, 1 IC and 1 diode.

12V/2A Delay Timer

About

This is a simple adjustable power-off delay timer supporting 5-12V DC and up to 2A.

When the power is turned on (both 12V and Switch are "on") then Output is also on. When Switch is "off", then a timer starts. When the timer expires (0-55 seconds) then Output is turned off.

Specs

  • Voltage: 5-12VDC
  • Max Switched Current: 2A @ 12V
  • Delay: 0-55 seconds
  • Power requirements when running: 5ma @ 12V
  • Power requrements when turned off: 0ma

Connections

  • GND - Ground
  • 5-12V - Unswitched 5-12V DC power
  • Switch - Switched 5-12V DC power
  • Output - 2A/5-12V DC delayed power off

Questions

How big is the Delaytimer PCB?

It measures 39.9 × 33.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Delaytimer use?

22 parts, built around the NE555, MMBT3904, MMBT3906 and IRLML6344. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Delaytimer KiCad files?

From the synfinatic/delaytimer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/delaytimer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Delaytimer design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask synfinatic before reusing the design.
