220V ON-OFF Latching touch switch by one touch plate only
This is second 220v touch switch that i made. the first one was made by IC4011. Touching plate completely insulated from the main supply and can't be dangerous. Red LED allowing you easily to locate the switch in the dark, it be turn OFF when the AC lamp running ON. The touching plate must touch for 1 second for turning the load ON or OFF. You can't use very big touching plate for this circuit and the wire of touching plate must be short as possible. This circuit can run up to 10A load.
