Flip-Flop working using PL13 slider to change coils

[Dazzler Fan]

To simplify wiring and switching I am trying to apply

flip-flop to change coils with the PL13 switch.

 

Too slow at the switch and it will fire several times!

 

Is there a simple component to put delay, say half a second,

in a subsequent firing?

Solenoids require a momentary switch. PL-13 is an on-on switch which will burn out your solenoid coils. Unless you are talking about relay coils.

These are momentary contact switches. The power is not constant to burn the coils.

You will need a CDU with exactly the right size of capacitor fed with a regulated DC supply and very well matched and maintained solenoid installations - especially maintaining the PL13 switches.

 

I would say it will not in any way simplify things - it will just end up being a maintenance headache!

Need to see your circuit to comment further about upstream of the PL-13 on-on slider switch.

The PL-26 is a momentary contact switch, but the PL-13 isn't. The PL-13 is designed to be operated by the point motor to control frog polarity, although it could be used for other things, such as operating a colour light signal. It is not suitable for anything requiring a pulse rather than a continuous supply.
