Clap on Clap Off Circuit Using Transistors
Intro: Clap on Clap Off Circuit Using Transistors
Hello, In this tutorial i showed you how to create a simple clap on clap off switch without using any IC's. Now there are lot of videos on Youtube and Instructables that show how to make a clap switch, but the problem is that they use the same concept of using a 555 Timer IC in combination with a peak detector so that when they clap the capacitor gets charged and then it passes it's energy to the LED. But the remains on for a minute (Barely) And you can't even turn it off via a clap. In order to make this clap switch practical I Made a clap on clap off switch that uses a transistor which amplifies the signals of a electret condensor microphone and sends it to a circuit called Bistable Flip-Flop which is just called the flip flop and what it do is when you give an input it outputs 0 (in this case the LED Will turn off) and if you again give an input, It will output 1 (LED Will glow) So here's the Parts List-
Resistors R1=15KΩ, R5,R6=1.5KΩ R2,R11,R12=2.2MΩ, R13=2.2KΩ R3=270KΩ, R4=3.3KΩ R7,R8=10KΩ, R9,R10=27KΩ
Capacitors C1=1000µf/16v C2=.01µf,C3,C4=.047µf
Semi Conductors Q1,Q2,Q3= BC548 D2,D3,D4= IN 4148 D1,D5=IN 4007, Q4=BC368
Misc T1=12v/500mA Transformer
Mic= Condenser Microphone
K1= 12V Relay
B1= Bulb or Load
Note that the parts list and the scheme is for a clap switch that can turn off turn on an Bulb on its output, I showed you an example with a LED But you can add an relay and control various appliances with a clap.
STEP 1: Have a Look on the Scheme

And we’re here to help you out.
In order to be published live on the site, Instructables must consist of the following things:
- Multiple steps showing how you made your project
- Written instructions in each step
- Your own original images
Beyond making your Instructable simply publishable, this guide (https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-Feature-Worthy-Instructable/) explains what is required to have your Instructables featured by our site editors. It’s very helpful, and definitely worth checking out.
We would love to review your project again after you have made the necessary edits, and we will publish your project if it is eligible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask right here or send us an email at service@instructables.com.
