Proximity Sensor:
 The circuit diagram of a 
proximity sensor switch circuit  that finds a lot of 
applications in many fields.The circuit is based on a magnetic reed 
switch(S1) as the 
proximity sensor. A monostable multivibrator based on 
NE555 (IC1)  and a toggle flip flop based on CD4013 (IC2) does the rest 
of the circuit.
 Fig.Proximity Sensor Switch Circuit
- When a magnet is reached in proximity of S1 it closes to give a negative
 trigger at pin 2 of IC1.The output of IC1 goes high for a time 
determines by R2 and C2.
- This clocks the IC2 wired as a toggle flip flop.The output (pin 1 ) of 
IC2 goes high and the transistor Q1 is biased to ON.The relay is 
activated and so do the equipment connected to the relay and the LED D1 
glows when IC1 is triggered.
