Hi
Am making a light break detection sensor as per attached schematic.

Question: I can't find a 5v relay with a coil resistance of 125 Ohms, I have some 5v relays at 70 Ohms would they work ?, also the diode 1n4004 , I have some 1N5397 would they do in place of the 4004 ? .

cheers
Spike

Hi again
Is there some way to introduce a time delay into this circuit, so that after the object passes through the beam break the relay will stay activated for lets say a second later !.

cheers

Yes. But your question is ambiguous. Do you want the relay delayed or the activation to be extended?

A longer time ago I've realized that with an simple REED Contact.
The Power line to the Bulp was wrapped a few times around the reed contact - Dependend from the drawn current.
When Current to the Lamp was drawn the Contact opens.
When Lamp defect no current was drawn and the control Led lights up.
