Hi guys!
I'm planning to build this RS232 to RS485 converter circuit...
**broken link removed**
my problem is I can't find the D7 and D6 Transil Diode components.
its just there to protect the circuit from very high voltages.
i just like to ask if I can replace it with a 6.8v 5 watts diode or any other diode.
well i can remove it from the circuit and the circuit will function the same, but i still want some protection. what diode should i use that will protect me from high voltages?
