Switch for
Switch-free Power Supplies
U. Reiser
Portable radios, CD-players and cassette recorders that can
also be operated from mains power often do not have a mains
power switch, but instead are switched off on the ‘DC side’.
This means that the power supply is permanently connected
to the mains network if the mains cable is not unplugged. The
situation with equipment requiring a mains adapter is similar.
This is not ideal for the environment or for your pocketbook.
The following circuit allows power to be switched on man-
ually and switched off automatically, directly at the equipment.
Optoelectronic isolation between the mains voltage and the
switching stage ensures continued compliance with safety
regulations.
Switching on
The circuit consists of the switch-on stage T1 and the hold-on
and switch-off stage T2/T3. Both stages drive the power
switch, which is implemented using a semiconductor relay
(IC1). The voltage from the two button cells (2–3 V) is con-
nected to the LED of the semiconductor relay by pressing
pushbutton switch S1. R1 allows a diode current of around 10
mA to flow. At the same time, T1 prevents a ‘charging current’
from flowing into the batteries when the semiconductor relay
that switches the mains voltage is ener-
gised by T2. Although such a current can
only flow while the pushbutton is pressed,
this possibility must be taken into account
for safety reasons.
When the LED of the semiconduc-
tor relay is energised by the battery cur-
rent, the triac connects the mains voltage
to the transformer of the power supply.
The DC voltage provided to the load is
twice reduced by 0.65 V by diodes D2 and
D3. This threshold voltage, smoothed by
C1, provides a base current for T3, which
drives T2 into conduction. T2 in turn sup-
plies current via R2 to LED D1 and the LED
in IC1. R2 must be matched to the DC volt-
age of the equipment to allow a LED cur-
rent of 10 mA to flow. As long as the push-
button is pressed, two LED currents flow,
and together they should not amount to
more than 20 mA in order to avoid
destroying the LED in IC1.

The voltage drop across D2 and D3 is only

nected equipment flows from the output of
the circuit. If this current is interrupted by

be cut off. The semiconductor relay will then open, and the
mains voltage will be switched off. This switch-off process is
delayed by capacitor C1, so that (for example) you can
exchange an audio cassette without causing the recorder to
be disconnected from the mains.
For the semiconductor relay, you should select a type hav-
ing a zero-crossing switch. This means that the triac will only
switch on at the zero point of the mains voltage, regardless of
when the pushbutton is pressed. Almost no current will thus
flow at the instant when the triac switches, which prevents
inductive switching spikes and associated interference. The
S201S01 semiconductor relay used here can switch currents
up to 8 A (continuous) or 80 A (single-cycle peak).
Figure 2 shows how to connect the circuit between the
power supply and the charging capacitor. When laying out the
circuit board, ensure that all components carrying mains volt-
age are separated from each other by at least 3 mm and from
the low-voltage area by at least 6 mm. Naturally, the same
considerations apply to fitting the circuit board into the equip-
ment to be switched. If there is not sufficient space inside the
equipment, the circuit can be fitted between the equipment
and the mains adapter as a sort of cable switch.
