I understand it need that much voltage to conduct.
Does this mean it looses that voltage on the output?
So if you had 12vdc going in, and FVD is 1.5v, then you have 12-1.5 = 10.5 vdc only after the diode?
I am interested in a bilge pump boat circuit where there are 2 pumps, 2 automatic float switches, and 1 manual switch.
The 2 schematics I was given are here, I can use two 12 vdc cube 40 amp relays, but what could be used for the diodes in the other schematic?
FS =float switch
BP = bilge pump
(The cathodes are not connected)
