Schottky Diodes

[PCC]

I have a speed controller that says I need this - anyone know where I can get one and what are the specs for this? (eg. amperage, volts)

Thanx

Hi

I do not know what ESC u using so difficult for us to give u answer. Based on electronics, Schottky Diodes is one of the many family of diode. I think for your case, the purpose is to ground/short the flyback/inductive voltage that produce when motor is turn off when it is spinning. U should able to find it in the electronics shop in Sim Lim Tower if u know the part number.

Oh my apologies.... my ESC is the mtroniks tempo 11.

thanx

Hi,

Pardon me, why dun the device come with the diodes, itself? I am curious...

this is the 3 ranges u need either 18, 30 or 40 amps current limit sensors.
But, coem to think of it...in AMPs ?? it can KILL

wat exactly are u controlling ??

Hi.... yes the ESC came with one but it is on a motor now. So I swap the ESC around but not the motors. I am running it on my RC cars (sedan and buggies).

correct this line : this is the 3 ranges u need either 18, 30 or 40 amps current limit sensors.

corrected : this is the 3 ranges u need either 18, 30 or 40 amps ( b.t.w its sensorless )

i always thought its a built in diode .... r u sure u can replace those thingys...

coz diode are more or less comparable to a normal resistor in sizes and weight.

Thanx.... this was useful. Doesnt cost a lot to buy it there.

[PCC]

mine is external.... so I can replace it.

[steadybongbibi]

mine is external.... so I can replace it.

i suggest u just go simlim tower and have a look.
they sell bulk of stuffs and incl. diodes too... i dun thing its difficult to get one... as they are more or less the same... but be sure to get one that can operate in 30 or 40 amps ...

and tk PPE when dealing with HIGH CURRENT !!

Hi Steady - I tried your ebay link and the item is here already. Its a bit smaller than the one that came with the esc but I tried soldering it and running the car on the 14t motor and it did not blow up so I guess everything is fine.

Cheers,

Great to know that work for ya
