Overview

Product Description

This kit is part of the SMD Trainer range that only uses SMD parts to test out your soldering skills. This kit provides all the parts needed to create the famous 555 Monostable circuit that blinks an LED, and the on-time of the LED is controlled via the SMD potentiometer. Before making this kit, be sure to read our SMD soldering guide found in our resources page, and pay extra attention when positioning components because de-soldering SMD parts can be extremely challenging.

Applications

  • The 555 Monostable SMD Trainer is ideal for SMD solder practice, and works well with the SMD Soldering Guide found in our resources page. This kit is also ideal for those who want to get into electronics, and the small size of this kit also makes it ideal for applications that need a small, modularised board. For example, this kit can be used to control a fluid pump to deliver specific amounts of a liquid after pressing the button.
  • Education and training – Useful for teaching 555 timer operation, monostable timing and one-shot pulses, while providing practical experience with surface-mount soldering, component identification and post-assembly testing.
  • Project integration – Suitable for projects such as SMD One-Shot Trainer, Push-Button Pulse Generator, Delay and Timing Experiment, and other designs where the following function is useful: Surface-mount 555 monostable trainer for learning one-shot timing circuits and SMD soldering
