i need a blocking diode for my security system for the power locks. i have no idea what to look for, i went to radio shack and picked one up that says 50V . 1A
its peak inverse voltage is 50V, forward voltage drop 1.6V, forward current 1A, max. surge current 30A, and reverse current 10(weird "u" shape)A does this make any sense? it doesnt sound hard to hook it up but i dont know what thell hell i need This post has been edited by Terzin1: Jun 1, 2005 - 6:00 AM -------------------- |

When I went to Radio Shack, I told the guy I needed 1 Amp diodes for my car and so he was like "OH 12 VOLT OKAY I HAVE THAT."
So you need 1AMP 12VOLT -------------------- |
