Trying to make sure that the components used are well within spec but I am having a little trouble trying to identify the voltages and current in the circuit and also with the data sheets. When the zener reaches threshold, will it handle the current with the 330 limiting res in series with it? Would a larger cap provide a better buffer? By decreasing the biasing resistor to 1.330k, will the npn handle it?
Thankx in advance for any smart folks that want to spend any time on this - This circuit works with stuff I had - 1n4004, 7.5v zener, 390 ohm r, and I forgot to reduce the 2k r to 1k.
Again, Thankx,
Glenn
