I need help selecting a suitable diode for a custom application, I am at my wits end trying to figure this out and have read lots online but can't make sense of it, any help would be appreciated.
I have four power wires (green & purple, red & gray) that need to power a motor & actuator with respect to the following:
Green and Purple must always ONLY power blue and black wires on device.
Red and Gray must always power ALL wires on device (blue, black, white and brown).
The operating voltage is 12VDC to 14.5VDC with a draw of no more than 1A. I believe I need two links with diodes. What kind of diode should I be looking for and what are the specifics of the values (forward current, reverse, etc.) that I should pay attention to?
This image should help explain my problem:
Thanks in advance
BTW FWIW, the project is using a power window motor which only has one motor for L/R panning and an actuator that must be powered in addition to the motor for U/D functions. I am wiring up the single motor and actuator unit to a car which previously had a dual discrete motors for L/R and U/D functions.
