ABSTRACT
A clap switch is an electronic device that works based on
clapping action, it converts sound energy into electrical
 pulses and provides these electrical pulses as input to the
control circuit for controlling the light appliances. A circuit
which operates through clap sound otherwise similar to that
sound is called clap switch. This switch activates once or
twice clapped & which will be automatically turned OFF
after some time.

INTRODUCTION

The fundamental concept of the clap switch is that the

microphone used in this circuit receives the clap sound &
generates a small signal to control a lamp. Generally, this
switch is operated through sound. For instance, light, fan
and TV can be controlled through clapping.

The operation of the circuit is simple. Clap and the lamp

turns on. The condenser microphone picks up the sound of
your claps, coughs, and the sound of that book knocked off
the table. It produces a small electrical signal which is
amplified by the succeeding transistor stage.
The working of this circuit is based on the amplifying
nature of the transistor, switching nature of the transistor and
the 555 timer IC as an electronic switch.

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP

WORKING OF THE CIRCUIT

This circuit uses a sound-activated sensor as

an input to detect the clap sound & generates
the output by processing the input into the
circuit. Once clap sound is provided to the
Mic, then it gets Electrical Energy & turns ON
LED. By changing the capacitor value, the
activated LED timer can be modified because
it is connected through a 555 timer. The main
function of this is to generate a signal.

The input of this circuit is clap or even any

sound having the same pitch of clap sound. So
this is also called a sound-activated switch.
This circuit mainly uses transistors as the
negative terminal of electric Mic is connected
directly through the transistor. This circuit
doesn’t use any kind of switch to control the
circuit.

Once the battery is connected to the circuit

then the circuit will be activated. This circuit
takes the input from the clap in the sound
energy form. This circuit can be changed by
employing a relay-like switch to control the
circuit. Once the sound input is given to the
circuit by clapping, then the sound signals can
be changed to process them to the IC that
generates the signal toward the light-emitting
diode to activate the LED.

ADVANTAGES

● The main benefit of a clap switch is, we can control any

electric load like light, a fan from any place in the room
by clapping our hands.
● Energy-Efficient System
● Less Cost
● Circuit is Reliable
● High Accuracy
● Man Power is not Required
 DISADVANTAGES
● The main drawback is that it is usually awkward to have
to clap one’s hands to control the load
● It normally looks simple in most cases to utilize a
normal light switch.
● Unnecessary disturbances may occur while operating in
buildings.
RESULT
We constructed the circuit as per circuit diagram .
And we verified the clap switch circuit.
i.e when sound occurs near by the circuit the led in the
circuit glows.
 CONCLUSION

The clap switch circuit activated switching device

function properly by responding to hand clap at
about three to four meter away and finger tap
sound at very close range, since both are low
frequency sounds that produce the same pulse
wave features. The resulting device is realizable,
has good reliability and it is relatively
inexpensive. This circuit is very useful in the field
of electronic circuits. By using some modification
it area of application can be extended in various
fields.
