R revans New Member Nov 14, 2008 #1 For the attached schematic, would it be fine to replace the 1N4007 diode with a 1N4004? Thanks. Attachments batmon12.gif 6.4 KB · Views: 1,642
K kchriste New Member Forum Supporter Nov 14, 2008 #2 Perfectly OK to do so. Any of the 1N400x series will work in that circuit.
P Pommie Well-Known Member Most Helpful Member Nov 14, 2008 #3 Yes, the 1N4007 is rated at 1000V and the 1N4004 is a mere 400V. As the circuit is using 12V then either will be fine. Mike.

Mikebits Well-Known Member Nov 14, 2008 #4 Either diode should work, but I don't think you need the diode at all. What is your supply voltage? Is it 12V batt as shwon in diagram? If so I guess it is good to keep as reverse batt protection. Last edited: Nov 14, 2008
