TV remote control Jammer Circuit 555 IR Remote block

TV remote control Blocker Circuit - IR Remote Control Jammer

TV remote control Jammer Circuit 555 IR Remote block. Just point this small device at the TV and the remote gets jammed. The circuit is self-explanatory. 555 is wired as an astable multivibrator for a frequency of nearly 38 kHz. This is the frequency at which most of the modern TVs receive the IR beam. The transistor acts as a current source, supplying roughly 25mA to the infra-red LEDs. To increase the range of the circuit simply decrease the value of the 180 ohm resistor to not less than 100 ohms.

It is required to adjust the 4.7K potentiometer while pointing the device at your TV to block the IR rays from the remote. This can be done by trial and error until the remote no longer responds.

  1. This project is helpful to block the signals in order to prevent others from changing the channel while we are watching TV. The TV’s ability to receive signals won’t be impacted.

  3. Hello, I’m trying to build this circuit and I’m having a problem understanding how the potentiometer is connected in the circuit. I’ve played around with it but haven’t attained the right frequency as of yet.
