■Action
Take one of the two actions shown below.
Action 1.To suppress the back electromotive force, connect a diode parallel to the load where back electromotive force is
generated.
• Sink output
[3]
• Source output
[3]
Action 2.Configure a sneak current path by connecting a diode across positive and negative of the external power supply.
When taking the action described in Example 1 at a time, connect a diode parallel to C1 and R1.
D1:
Reverse voltage VR (VRM)
*1
Forward current IF (IFM)
*2
*1 Approximately 10 times the rated voltage in the specifications
Example: 24VDC Approx. 200VDC
*2 Twice the maximum load current (common) in the performance specifications or more
Example: 5A/1 common 10A or more
