I have a 1 amp contact (from a PIR) driving a a relay G5V-2 Omron. I dropped in a current limiting resistor and it draws .250ma so that is all good.
The Omron relay powers a 12VDC 1.5 amp strobe night. I know transistors need a diode to block the kick from the relay coil. Would it buy me anything to add the diode for the contacts? I do not think there would be enough to
weld the PIR contacts.
It works fine, so I think I am good to go, but before I install it I thought I would see if anyone had other ideas.
