For relays and small solenoids (He can not have a large one battery powered) I do quite well with 1N400x diodes and have never blown one. I have never heard of a diode capable of more than supply current (* safety factor) being required. You are probably right. I was going to say 1N4000 series at first but I have an electronic pinball machine that I bought my wife for her birthday. It uses 24V solenoids and has already killed quite a few 1N4000 diodes so I am slowly replacing them all with 1N5000 series ones. Ian |
