The Great Search: Solenoid flyback diodes in SOD-323

from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries

For our solenoid driver, we have individual transistors for driving each output, which means that we need to protect them with flyback diodes. The important things we need for a flyback diode are to handle the maximum reverse voltage (30V or so) and be fast—there is a peak current of an amp or so, but it's near-instantaneous, so we're not as worried about continuous current. We'll also need 8, so let's make sure they're not too expensive!
