In a thread from 24.Aug.2008 called "beginner: hopefully simple question about regulators", I asked for help on how to power a 12VDC 1.4A pump. The kindest answer was: connect 2 (or maybe 3, to overcome motor start-up surge) 800mA wall adapters in parallel. And thank you.
Due to holidays/weather, I forgot one last question. As a month has elapsed, I hope opening a new thread is okay etiquette.
See attached circuit. This circuit will lie between the wall adapters and the pump. Once the pump is on, it may stay on for several hours. Should I upgrade any components? Specifically, I rather suspect all 1.4A will flow through the 1N4001 diode. But the 1N4001 datasheet mentions an Average Rectified Forward Current of 1A. I'm not quite sure what that means.
Thanks very much for your help.
