The Keypad Controlled Switch No2 Circuit operates with a 12-volt supply but is compatible with voltages ranging from 5 to 15 volts. The only requirement is to select a relay that matches the desired supply voltage.

The Keypad Controlled Switch No2 Circuit is designed to allow users to control a load through a keypad interface. The circuit utilizes a microcontroller or a dedicated keypad decoder to interpret the key presses. When a specific key is pressed, the microcontroller activates a relay, which in turn controls the power to the connected load.

The circuit typically includes the following components:
1. **Power Supply**: A voltage regulator may be used to ensure stable operation within the specified voltage range (5-15V).
2. **Keypad**: A matrix keypad is commonly employed, allowing for multiple key inputs while minimizing the number of input pins required.
3. **Microcontroller/Decoder**: This component processes the keypad inputs and controls the relay. It can be programmed to recognize specific key sequences for different functions, such as turning the load on or off.
4. **Relay**: A relay suitable for the chosen supply voltage is used to switch the load. The relay should be rated for the load current and voltage to ensure safe operation.
5. **Load**: The device or circuit that will be controlled by the relay, which could be anything from lights to motors.

The design considerations include ensuring that the relay's coil voltage matches the power supply voltage and that the microcontroller's output pins are capable of driving the relay, either directly or through a transistor for higher power applications. Additionally, debounce logic may be implemented in the software to prevent multiple activations from a single key press.

This circuit can be further enhanced with features such as LED indicators to show the status of the load or additional safety mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access or accidental activation.Keypad Controlled Switch No2 Circuit The circuit is drawn with a 12-volt supply - but it will work at anything from 5 to 15-volts.
