/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Any way to isolate a button from a high voltage driver? I fear a spark hits the driver and flies through the circuit until reaching the button and my hand.

I thought about using optocouplers, but I think they break at 5Kv or less, a relay seems to be a better option, I tested it with 10kV with no leaks.

I don't want the thing to be beefy, I just want to switch a transistor with it.

>Pic unrelated, just a lure.
