(1) I am doing a circuit involving relay (5V SPST relay). The problem is that I am not sure how to connect the leads. My relay has 5 leads -- 3 on one side and 2 on the other side.
(2) Must i connect a diode across the relay to avoid getting an "inductive kick" ? This is because a transistor is connected to that relay and the "inductive kick" might destroy the transistor.
(3) What does the 5V means (in 5V SPST)? Does it affect the relay if I connect a diode across it?
Attached here is a section of my circuit diagram.
