12VDC Powered Simple RF M4 Receiver

Post by yamato3023 »

We are developing a 12VDC instrumentation app, and would like to include a 4-way remote control feature with the Simple RF M4 Receiver, 315MHz, momentary type.

Is something like this available? Custom order? What is appropriate?

You have already saved us time and $$$ on other projects. This product is just too much of a temptation to pass up. :D

Regards, Mike

The chip itself is rated for 15v, but the receiver boards are rated for up to 10v - most likely due to other components on the board. You could add a regulator to drop the receiver supply voltage to an acceptable level. What are your logic level requirements on the output? Would a 10v signal work? If not, you could add a PN2222 on the output to switch the higher voltage.

The I/O logic voltage range is +12VDC to +24VDC.

We were hoping to avoid an add-on regulator on top of the add-on PCB. :)

So, a regulator for the input power, and a PN2222 for the 12-24VDC I/O?

Thanks for the help! There are some scientists out there who really don't want leave the comfort of their desk to tune this thing! :lol:

With regard to output requirement, we were hoping to run 12VDC at 94mA for several periods of 1-5 minutes over the course of an hour. We are actuating a 12VDC solenoid valve.

We will be running 2 other contacts for switching only. The spec'd voltage output should be fine.
