Kitronik Game Project Kit

This light-activated kit is also available as a temperature-activated project kit. The output of this board can be used to control other electronic circuits, turning them on automatically when it goes light or dark.

The board has space for an LED with a current limit resistor (both available separately) which will light when the output turns on.

The Darlington pair transistor configuration allows an output current of up to half an amp to be controlled. Operating voltage 3V to 12V (lower voltages allow for better adjustment of the switching point).

Note: This kit requires soldering.

Features:

This Light Switch Kit detects the brightness of its surroundings using a Phototransistor.

The kit acts as an automated on/off switch (light dependable) for many devices.

Contents:

1 x 1MΩ Potentiometer.

2 x BC337 NPN Transistors.

1 x Phototransistor.

1 x 220Ω Resistor.

1 x Light Activated Switch PCB

Possible applications include:

Garden light that switches on automatically at night.

2 x AA Battery Cage with leads, with 150mm colour coded flying leads. This battery cage houses two AA batteries and is barely bigger than the batteries it is designed to hold. This makes it a suitable choice for the smaller projects when a discrete and easy to hide battery cage is what is called for.

It also features colour coded 150mm flying leads, making for easy integration into your projects.The battery cage can easily be soldered directly to a board or connected to your project via terminal blocks.

Features:

Small discreet size.

150mm colour coded flying leads.

The leads are suitable for soldered connections.

The leads are suitable for terminal block connections.

Contains:

1 x 2 AA Battery Cage with 150mm colour coded flying leads.

Dimensions:

Leads: 150mm

Get reliable and long-lasting power with the Verbatim CR2032 3V Premium Lithium Battery 4 Pack. Perfect for watches, calculators, key fobs, and other electronic devices. High-quality, durable, and dependable. Choose Verbatim for consistent performance!

The Kitronik 5V LED Desk Lamp Kit provides a bright and efficient lighting solution in a compact, easy-to-mount design. Equipped with nine white super flux LEDs, it delivers a total output of approximately 16,000 mCd. Built-in current limit resistors ensure safe operation from a 5V power supply or 3 x AA batteries, offering up to 5 hours of illumination with fresh batteries.

This learn to solder pack is the ideal low cost solution for teaching soldering in the classroom/after school club. The pack provides all of the parts and PCB's required for a class size of 25 and also includes a 9V battery for testing purposes. Each pack comprises; 25 x PCBs, 100 x 100 ohm resistors, 25 x LED's, and a 9V PP3 battery.

There is also a step by step guide to soldering, which covers; equipment, solder, tinning & cleaning, soldering in 8 steps, de-soldering in five steps, wire preparation, examples of good and bad solder joints, basic PCB repair, resistor information, LED information, full step by step build information for the kit, and how the learn to solder kit works. This guide covers everything that you might need to discuss with students and can form the basis of your lesson plan.

Using the kits and the step by step guide, each student will solder four resistors and one LED to their PCB before pressing it to the terminals of the 9V battery to check that their board works. Using the guides they will be able to examine their own work and troubleshoot problems. The battery pads on the PCBs have been shaped inline with the battery terminals on a PP3 battery making it straightforward to see which way around it should be placed on the battery.

Features:

Purpose built PCBs that can be tested, once built, with the supplied 9V PP3 battery.

Low cost classroom pack for 25 students.

Easy build kit.
