Diode types
« on: August 27, 2010, 09:47:52 PM »
Can someone list the type of diodes for various parts in a pinball? For example the diode for a target, a disode used for micro switches etc.
Still loving my Metallica Premium

1n4004 - The most common diode - Switch matrix, flipper coils - SS or DMD pins. The "universal" diode. You can use a 1N4007.
1n4148 - Faster switching diode can be used on SYS1 Switch matrix

These are the two generic didoes used for playfield applications.

There are TONS more diodes - Zener / voltage reducing etc that are used on power supplies, driver boards etc.
