    protection circuit is diodes the best way?

    Ken, what happened was that it fried the the vreg chip. I know that you said to put it series with the + input. I have not had a chance to test that. I am wondering how that will work to protect it? Do you think it needs a fuse? If so what would be the configuration. I really appreciate...

    protection circuit is diodes the best way?

    My goal is to protect the circuit from a user error. The most likely one will be connecting the positive terminal of the battery to gnd of my circuit and the gnd terminal of the battery to the vin of my circuit. I am engineering controls into the installation instructions but they are not...

    protection circuit is diodes the best way?

    KMoffett, here is the schematic that is connected to the bus. There is some other circuits down stream from this on but I figured if I could protect this one then the rest will also be protected. Thanks for the help...

    protection circuit is diodes the best way?

    All, I am getting back into electronic design after being out of if for a while. I have designed a voltage regulator circuit and it works well as designed, and is a power supply. about 24VDC and could pull as much as 5A. I need to be about to protect it from someone connecting the terminals...
