RK Education Transistor Switch Project - Economy

This project introduces the transistor switch and is an excellent first electronics/systems and control project for students.

The project is also excellent for GCSE students as it has been designed with KS4 curriculums in mind. It is a very versatile project and can be used as a moisture sensor, temperature sensor and light sensor. The project has been designed to allow differentiation and has space for up to 5 outputs and a range of inputs including variable resistors.

• A number of different solutions are possible
• Can be used with an LDR, thermistor or moisture sensor
• Battery-powered
• PCB has space for up to five outputs
• Clear silkscreen text has been used to make construction simpler
• Professional double-sided PCB pre-drilled with silkscreen and solder-resist
• 2 versions available for maximum flexibility
• Available with or without temperature sensor

PCB design may vary from that shown.

Project notes for this and other project kits are available for download at our Education Resources site.

Comprehensive teacher notes are available here.

A training system, 70-6046, is available to help aid teaching and learning with this project and to help students to arrive at their final solution

Empty PCBs are available separately, order code 70-9040

Suitable for Key Stages 2, 3 & 4 (ages 7 to 16)
