current rating that is equal to or greater than the forward current that the coil draws to operate. For example, a relay less than 1 A, use a 1 A diode since they are readily available. The wiring shown in Figures 4-2.3.1, 4-2.3.2 and 4-2.3.3 have examples of the places that a reverse diode is required.
