Hi all,
I have a couple of solenoids I'm using on a very low temperature application, and the documentation notes that they don't have any integral transient protection (e.g. flyback diode), and that the manufacturer recommends they be fitted externally. I figured I'd just solder a diode across the solenoid plug with the wiring, but I realised I have no idea what specifications I need to consider when selecting a diode.
The solenoid valves I'm using are attached, is anyone able to give me any pointers on what rating I'll need for my diodes? I'm using the 24VDC coil (which isn't explicitly described in the attached data sheet, but the stats are basically identical)
Thanks!
