I've done a few searches and can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
I would like to trigger 3 solenoid valves to open together with a single relay. The valves are all the same and rated at 18watts at 12vdc. I will use a 10a power supply. The relay is an arduino shield that has it's own built in protection. The only thing connected to the 12v power supply will be the solenoids. I'm hoping that a diode across each solenoid will be enough protection. I've attached a diagram of what I would like to do.
Does it make sense?
Thank you for any help.
