Hi
Ive been googling a bit, as I need a shunt diode for the attached circuit (ive added a zener where i think should it should go)
Im trying to clamp any spike that go above 12v
Is this right, and if so can anyone suggest a suitable zener for this purpose.
Its a 1Amp 5volt regulator if that makes a difference (probably not a 7805, due to its use in a car, but will be a regulator capable of handling load dump)
Thanks
