Hello, I have what might be a dumb question. I'm creating a dc converter based on something that I saw here: http://reipooom.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/boost-converterfixed.png
I'm using different parts including an NTE6240 (http://www.dz863.com/datasheet-810603963-NTE6240_Silicon-Rectifier-Super-Fast-Dual-Center-Tap/) for the diode. I'm not sure if I am connecting it properly. this diode has 3pins. I connected the negative pin (pin 3) to the drain of a mosfet and pin 2 was connected to a cap which is connected to ground. I left pin 1 unconnected.
Can someone please tell me if that's a correct connection?
I appreciate any help that I can get.
