i have been told that cars can generate a negitive voltage transient upto 400v, therfore led's in cars should always be protected my a diode becuase leds can usually only handle negitive voltages upto 5v. is this correct? and if so what would be a suitable surface mount replacement for a 1n4004 diode so i can save space, maybe a toshiba U1GC44 rectifier diode or a fairchild GF1A rectifier ?
