Note for soldering

When switching inductive loads such as relays, DC motors, and

DC solenoids, it is always important to absorb surges (e.

g. with a

diode) to protect the contacts. When these inductive loads are

switched off, a counter emf can severely damage switch contacts

and greatly shorten lifetime.

Fig. 1 shows an inductive load with a free-wheeling diode connec

ted in parallel. This free-wheeling diode provides a path for the

inductor current to ow when the current is interrupted by the

switch. Without this free-wheeling diode, the voltage across the

coil will be limited only by dielectric breakdown voltages of the

circuit or parasitic elements of the coil. This voltage can be kilo

volts in amplitude even when nominal circuit voltages are low (e. g.

12 VDC) see Fig. 2.

The free-wheeling diode should be chosen so that the reverse

breakdown voltage is greater than the voltage driving the induc tive

load. The DC blocking voltage (VR) of the free-wheeling diode can

be found in the datasheet of a diode. The forward current should

be equal or greater than the maximum current owing through the

load.

To get an efﬁcient protection, the free-wheeling diode must be connected as

close as possible to the inductive load!
