I have verified each time with a test meter, as well as, USB has established specs that are widely adhered to so when its the USB port circuit being 2 circuit powered Im working with the 500Ma per port is a pretty safe bet. | |
| Sep 9, 2018 at 20:48 | comment | added | Erik Marquez | How about one if these. 15SQ045 Schottky Ratings look right. The 10 amp would cover all the applications I have installed them in so far, and is overkill in many (that only need 1 or 2 amp capacity ) Other then the voltage drop a larger diode might have....are there any other downside to just using the largest diode I need on all the like applications? | |
| Sep 8, 2018 at 23:23 | comment | added | D.A.S. | sounds good with 2 if under worst case load. Imax means max DC current | |
| Sep 8, 2018 at 23:16 | comment | added | Erik Marquez | I claim ignorance... I Max? Seems I have read the term (other than at movie theaters) but I don't remember how used use or definition. 2 1N4004's were not warm to the touch at all... I used three today because I had them, and had not yet figured out the rest of this | |
