Hello,
I am using the Miniature DS1E SPDT Relays in my circuit and want to protect the circuit with a protection diode across the relay. Each of the relays have different switching voltages namely 3.3V, 5V and 18V wrt GND.
Now what should be the diode voltage rating? Should it be like 3.4V, 5.1V and 18.1V across the respective relays? or could I use any common voltage diode (say 5V) across all these relays?
Should it be a zener or a regular diode is ok?
Thanks,
Kf
