Title: Glitterati diode question
Post by: tagwap on March 22, 2012, 12:40:28 PM
Im building the glitterati but I forgot to order a 1N4005 diode. I have a 1N4001 spare. What difference would it make if I used this instead?

As it is for reverse polarity protection, the 1N4001 should work just as well. The 1N4005 is just rated for higher voltages (600V).
