frs6-5 relay
Hello everyone,
I have a device that can switch between two different modes that I want to control with a push in/push out switch.
It has two wires coming out of it that, if connected, will switch modes. The device will stay on the selected mode while the wires are connected and also if the connection is broken, then will switch again when re-connected (essentially the action of a contact switch).
I have tried using a switching relay, (seen here as the FRS6-5 **broken link removed** )
By connecting one wire to the pin that is the main pole of the switch and the two wires to the poles that the relay switches between (if that makes sense).
The problem seemed to be that the relay switched too fast and didn't allow enough time for the device to register that the circuit had been broken and reconnected.
I also tried adding in some capacitors and resistors to try to build time delay, but this didn't seem to work either (maybe the capacitors were the wrong value)
Anyone have any other ideas to a solution using this same push in/push out switch?
Thanks for any suggestions.
