Description.
Here is a versatile remote controlled appliance switch that can ON or OFF any appliance connected to it using a TV remote.
IR remote sensor IC TSOP 1738 is used for recieving the signal. Normally when no signal is falling on IC3 the output of it will be high.This makes Q1 OFF.When a signal of 38 KHz from the TV remote falls on the IC3 its output goes low.This makes Q1 conduct and a negative pulse is obtained at pin 2 of IC 1 NE 555.Due to this IC1 wired as a monostable multivibrator produces a 4 Sec long high signal at its out put.This high out put is the clock for IC 2 which is wired as a Flipflop and of , its two outputs pin 3 goes low and pin 2 goes high.The high output at pin 2 is amplified to drive the relay .For the next signal the outputs of IC2 toggles state. Result, we get a relay toggling on each press on the remote.Any appliance connected to this circuit can be switched ON or OFF.
Circuit Diagram with Parts List .
Notes.
- Before wiring the circuit make sure that the carrier frequency of the TV remote you have is 38 KHz.For that wire the sensor part only ,point your remote to the TSOP1738 and press any switch.If out put of TSOP1738 goes low them ok, your remote is of 38Khz type.Nothing to worry almost all TV remote are of this type.
- You can use any switch because for any switch the code only changes,the carrier frequency remains same.We need this carrier frequency only.
- Assemble the circuit on a good quality PCB or common board.
- The appliance can be connected through NO or NC and contacts of the relay .

pls sir I need replacements for bc158 and SL100 pls it urgent sir.
wl ds control 8 devices independently
how can i connect no of relays to circuit
You can connect 6volt 100 mA relays 3 nos in parallel. You can use the single relay’s NO contact to switch any number of relays in parallel.
how much cost it takes to construct it?
seetharaman sir will you please tell me what is channel
hello sir plz tell me what is the voltage rating of capacitors
All capacitors can be of working voltage a min of 12 volt and max up to 63 volt DC.
This website is very useful.i am going to try this.i hope it works.
sir,
thankyou for the circuit.its working very well.we need to control the appliance with a single button on the remote.can anyone plz help us…our exhibition dates are approaching
Sir, i want to design remote controlled home appliance ckt but in this circuit which type of relay used?i mean spdt or other and how many terminal of that relay? And at which terminals home appliance to be connected and which terminal circuit connected ? Plz sir give me detail abot relay and also abot IR same as that relay
Setharaman, i have (2) questions, (1) how can i wire this circuit to have 2 channels, or 4 channels. (2) How can i change the frequency of this circuit to enable it respond to other frequencies apart from the 38khz TV Remote transmitter
Setharaman, can this ic CD4017 be use to build 2-channel. or 3-channel or 4-channel Infra-Red Remote?
Seetharaman, can i use this ic, CD4017 to build 2-channel IR Remote control.
This is really good
Thank you for .And I need the FM circuit for studying purpose.Can you send my mail?
Seetharaman, what software did you use for simulate this circuit..? thank you..
Hi Rex minimum is 6 volts and maximum is 12 volts ensure relay is rated for the supplied voltage.
Hi Muiz no software used only hard wiring of components and checking for practical reliable operation
Seetharaman, thank you very much, i have built this circuit. It is working very fine… But i have (2) problems:- (1) how can i reduce the 4sec long signal produce by the monostable NE555 to just (one) 1sec or even less than? (2) what is the minimum and the maximum power i can give to the circuit.. and what are the current ratings?
Setharaman, thank you very much, i have built this circuit, and is working fine… but one problem am having is the 4 sec long high signal produce by the NE555. It delays too much How can i reduce the 4 sec to 1 sec or even lower.
Reduce R4 to 68K to achieve 1 sec delay. reduce it further for still lesser duration.
Seetharaman, i noticed something in this circuit, 10k resistor need to be connected between base and emitter of transistor (Q1), because the Remote tester circuit in this site, has 10k resistor in between base and emitter, why is this one not having 10k resistor? Will this circuit work, have you tried it before?
Hi Rex In Tester the signal is taken from collector and in the above is taken from emitter. As per datasheet the condition for this IC is “The output voltage should not be hold continuously at a voltage below 3.3V by the external circuit”. Hence it is not required for the above circuit.
sir,how can i connect no of relays in that circuit
Sir in the circiut a ground conection saw . Where i conect the ground
sir
please guide how ac connect to this circuit and where appliance will connect
thanks
it is a wonderful website for making a simple project it make easly to understand with picture for materials
This circuit components are not available mostly.it can also be used in low voltage Dc circuits.
sir i cant find BC 158 what are the possible replacement for BC158
u can ask me,i’ll help u any dought……
sir,
I am not getting 1738 at my place. Can I Use 1838 instead. is the pin configuration of both same.
Please reply
May i use this circuit to switch on and off the led flashers using tv remote, pls advice me
since, the sensor of all circuit board are different there for we can’t use the another remote control…..
i have used this circuit for 7 years for light circuit and still run perfect. All you need is a stabiole power source.
Sir can this project be used in any appliances like heater
all depends on your Relay rating.
Usually in India 6V relay will be of upto 5A rating. The heater 1KW will draw upto 6A. Hence, I will not recommend it for switching the heater.
sir,can we make remote for epson ebx9 projector to conrol power switch….?
plz i want the pin diagram of these three IC.

and necessary details of that
thanks
Hi lam happy for this cct.l made it for switching elect. bulbs in my room. Thankyou
Hi Abdul the 6volts relay contacts are rated for 220Volt AC and for rated current see the relay contact ratings or use a 6 volts relay wih required contact voltage and current rating.
Is this can load directly to 22Ov for on/off switch?
i plan to used it for light switch…
Hi Hemanth use the common and Normally open contact of the relay to operate any off/on control of any equipment.
please tell me relay connections

can we make whole lighting scheme remote controlled by using 1 universal remote???
Good, It is working but it cannot use for tube lights..it will detect tube lights..
i want to make this circuit please give me full description
I am going to make it.
i made a small modifcation to this circuit. Diode D4 is added so that the parts of the circuit other than the IC3 donot load the zener diode.
Hi.
i gave connection as per circuit diagram…
but my zener diode is heating….and LED 1 is not glowing,while LED 2 is glowing,
and no output,
plz help to solve my problem guys..
This is what I got for my school project and we must make it in PROTEL design system (1994) so anyone got this draw on that program and possible to send me file? thx
Hi Rakesh this can be used for any on/off application. for varying speed you have to add 4017 etc.

hai frnds plz send me many projects.i wait for ur reply
To Seetharaman,
Thanks for the tips. By solving false triggering problem this circuit may be used for multipurpose switching.
Hi seetharaman
subject: 100watt sub-woofer
i shorted R9 & R10 the temperature of transistors decreased but Q7 is getting hotter than Q5 why ?
Hi Imteaz you can connect 100uF and a reverse biased diode in parallel with relay coil K1, this should solve your problem as the back EMF from relay coil is false triggering your IC.
I was trying to make a touch switch by 555 and 4017. But when I used relay i faced false triggering of 4017. Is this circuit free from false triggering?
IC2 is CD4017. If you have any doubts regarding this circuit. mail me to arifuddin2007@gmail.com
how i can rised the voltage from 1.5v to 12v.give me circuit diagram.help me pls.
plz tell me the number of ic2
i am going to work on this project………!!!
can i put this circuit on 9V
can i put TSOP1138 instead of TSOP1738? please reply on this e-mail malecko44@yahoo.com
can i connect light,fan,refregirator to this single circuit and operate.
if we cannot what is the alternative to operate all the house hold elements.
some body please help me in making a house hold appliances circuit.
the load that can be connected to this circuit depends on the current capacity of the relay that you are using.
You can get only one switching action from this circuit.More that one devices cannot be independently switched.
its is working i have made this but the main problem iam facing is that when i apply voltage to the circuit it energises the relas mean it gets triggered every but its working i want to remove this triggering on power apply help me plz
yaaaaa , its workinggggggggg
I made this circuit. Its 100% working. But it is a complicated one. I designed my circuit slightly changing the above one which is very easy to make and working. contact me at arifuddin2007@gmail.com
for the schematic. hope you all like it.. 🙂
