Where to get decent 120uF cap for 555 - Page 3 - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Thanks Hero, I have put 5 of the Bat in the shopping basket. I have already made sure that I have 2 of everything just in case I short something out ;-)

2 q's, where do I connect the BAT diode? Also the 1nf and 10nf, I couldn't find them in Tantalum can I use different values? If not what sort of cap should I get for those two?

Thanks,
Greg.

If you're going to use the 7555 (which is probably a good idea due to the long time delay), then I'd strongly recommend using the BAT85 diode which can be bought from RS and isn't expensive.

Another thing, is I'd also recommend getting some spare components - don't just buy one 7555, get two, just in case you make a mistake and destroy one.

Just use ceramic capacitors for the 1nF, 10nF and 100n; I know it isn't on the schematic but you need a 100nF capacitor across the power supply.

I told you where to put the protection diode several posts ago, here's the schematic.

Sorry I missed that in earlier post, was tired. Okay I think I'm at purchase and breadboard stage now

How long do you expect the battery to last?
