I've been told I need 4x P600 diodes for a modification I wish to carry out on a set of rear lights for my car.
I've done a search on Maplin but can't find anything for P600. I've got some N4001 diodes laying about that I purchased before and was wondering if these would do the same job?
There are no more simplified terms, you have to learn what the terms themselves mean. When you get into more advanced digital circuits there is a lot of jargon, but all those complex word for basic electronics actually have real meaning =)
is a good start for basic circuits and meanings. Wikipedia is great for looking up technical words (usually providing example circuits as well)
There's still a lot of information to absorb any way you look at it.
Thanks guys. I'm only using it for a 12v application so would I be any better off using the P600A over the M? I'm gathering that there would be no difference as they're both grossly overrated for the job.
Hi again all. I've got me some P600 diodes now for my project. Chunky little things!
Anyway, I plan to soldered them into the wiring loom and was wondering whether or not I can cover them in anyway as they're on the outside of the car (behind a light cluster though). Can I put heat shrink around them, or electrical tape or anything like that, or is it best to leave them uncovered?
