The target is a 5V line (4.3 to 5.5 VDC) which already gets grounded by a physical switch to trigger an action. It sinks 4.5-5 mA @ 5V to ground when active. Current is limited by the source.
I need a normally-closed switch in series, which will open with application of anywhere from 12 to 15 VDC (it varies uncontrollably). This will prevent the 5V switch from having any effect. I can't draw more than ~25-50 mA from the 12V line.
Can someone help with the schematic and specs? And the math? I'm so rusty since I ended up in firmware!
