Is placing a diode in conduction path to ground OK?
Oct 27, 2017 · Correct. If each chip had a separate diode they'd all be at different voltages. I also remember reading that keeping an extremely low impedance path to ground helps to ground …
snubber - how do i actually put a diode across a motor? - Electrical ...
Jun 23, 2016 · The anode of the diode needs to go on the negative wire and the cathode of the diode (with the stripe) needs to go on the positive wire of the motor. This way the diode will not …
How to wire this “green laser module diode”? - wiring
I am trying to wire a 532 nm, 5 mW green laser module rated at 3 V DC (from ebay). But how? I would assume the spring is VCC and the housing is GND, but latter is not connected to any of …

May 22, 2013 · Take 2 diodes, say 1Nwhocares. Bias one on via a resistor, get the .6V or so out and apply it to the anode of the other diode via a second resistor. Run the second diode's …
Why is there a diode connected in parallel to a relay coil?
Feb 18, 2014 · The diode only works in DC circuits, an alternative is needed for AC circuits (e.g. a varistor or resistor + capacitor. The drawback of using a diode is that the turn_off is a lot …
How should I wire the flyback diode on this relay?
Oct 31, 2022 · The flyback diode is part of your layout and not of the relay, so looking at a usual, unpolarized relay won't help you find out how to install a flyback diode. simulate this circuit – …
How to choose a flyback diode for a relay?
Specify a diode for at least 79.4 mA current. In your case, a 1N4001 current rating far exceeds the requirement. The diode reverse voltage rating should be at least the voltage applied to the …
