Sure off-the-shelf work fine but I have no idea what I’m doing or where to find it I’m not electronic Minded guyDoes it have to be designed from first principles or can you just use an off-the-shelf product that has been designed for the purpose?
Is this some college/school task?
Thank you for your reply to be honest with you this is for an invention I built in auto feed paintbrush the circuit which I’m looking for is required so that when I turn the power off the specialize valve in the brush will spring closed allowing a suction against the tubes which the paint to the brush that’s why I can only be half a second555 delay off timer modules on Ebay for around $10 with relay output BUT your 1/2 second requirement might be pushing the friendship to be accurate and practical.
How often is this cycle to repeat?
No I don’t think you understand perhaps I didn’t explain it correctly it’s a latex only Paint brush the timer controls a solenoid valve that dumps the pressure from the line allowing the valve in the brush to work correctly there is no immediate contact of electricity and fluid the half second work the best anything more in the valve stayed open too long anything less the valve won’t open long enough I just looked at the 555 timer they appear to be 0 to 10 seconds or longer I can see why you wouldn’t think they’re appropriate that’s the reason I need someone to design a circuit for 1/2 a second does not need to be adjustable thank you for your timeFlammable liquids and electrics don't go well together and any mixing would need a specialised design piece of gear with all sorts of certification.
That said, you did not say what the expected cycle time would be but I doubt any piece of off the shelf gear such as previously suggested would be appropriate.
Have you considered a mechanical equivelent to your requirement? Might be a good move for reasons above ( costly stuff certifications) not to mention if things go belly-up further down the track.
PS the circuit operates randomly depending on when the user wants to turn the brush on and turn it off it won’t be A high-speed operationNo I don’t think you understand perhaps I didn’t explain it correctly it’s a latex only Paint brush the timer controls a solenoid valve that dumps the pressure from the line allowing the valve in the brush to work correctly there is no immediate contact of electricity and fluid the half second work the best anything more in the valve stayed open too long anything less the valve won’t open long enough I just looked at the 555 timer they appear to be 0 to 10 seconds or longer I can see why you wouldn’t think they’re appropriate that’s the reason I need someone to design a circuit for 1/2 a second does not need to be adjustable thank you for your time
Play means of a relay intermittently operated after the half second interval…… Circuit will reset Thank you for your timeHow do you propose to initiate the timer?
I do appreciate your opinions thank you very much can you suggest a good source for this M timerAs suggested, a timer could be built around the 555/556 I.C.
If purchasing off the shelf: Attached timer types.

Yes, it does.does not need to be adjustable thank you for your time
