Description.
Almost all liquidator type mosquito repellers are rated 5Watts. It is a pretty energy consuming game when these repellers are operated through out the night. Even though these liquidators are switched ON and OFF in discrete intervals there will be no considerable loss in the effectiveness, and more over there will be a great saving of energy. Then why can’t we do that and that’s why I designed this circuit.
The circuit is nothing but an astable multivibrator designed of IC NE 555 (IC1) operates in a frequency determined by the values of R1 and C2. When the power is switched on the out put of the IC goes high. This makes Q1 to conducts and the relay connects the mains supply to the repeller plugged in the socket shown. After the set time the output of the IC goes low and now the repeller is removed from mains by the relay. This cycle repeats and the repellent will be switched On and OFF in frequent intervals, saving a lot of power. Diodes D2, D3 forms a half wave rectifier with C1 as the filter, supplies the circuit with power.
Circuit diagram with Power supply.
- Assemble the circuit on a good quality common board or PCB.
- The intervals of ON and OFF can be adjusted by varying Preset R1.
- Some parts of the circuit are live with potential shock hazard.Be careful.

nice circuit……
do you know any replacements for the sl100 bjt transistor that would fit in the circuit given above?? i live in the philippines…
plss reply ASAP.. thanks whoever replies..
really need it ASAP… thanks
Instead of astable mode if you could design in monostable mode, it can be used for any general purpose to switch a given fan or light of anything in given time. pls give me the monostable version of the circuit…
Its very useful site i have learned so many things with this, please send other important circuits to my mail
PLEASE SEND ME DETAILED CIRCUIT AND WHERE IN INDIA I CAN GET THESE ELECTRONIC PARTS TO MY EMAIL SUDACKAR(AT)REDIFFMAIL.COM
شكرا لهذا الموقع المتميز والدائرة سهلة غير ان هناك بعض الاستفسار عن out put suct لااسطيع فهما جيدا هل هى سماعات ام ماذا خاصة انها موضوعة بشكل يوحى بانها سماعات(spekr out )ارجو المعذرة شكرا
thanks very useful circuits.
