So I (thought) I ordered a bunch of small power diodes to clamp the EM back charge from a bunch of 5v relays when they disengage - turns out they're 1N4454 Signal diodes Datasheet Here
Now looking at the datasheet, they can take 4A at 1uS, but will breakdown at 75V reverse volts.
Now when a relay disengages, the incurred EM voltage could be several hundred volts at barely any current (but with the polarity of the diode, hence it's purpose).
Anyone see an issue will still using them for this purpose?
Thanks in advance,
