    Anybody have a good source for flyback diodes? I've been looking around but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
    Thanks,

    What are you looking for?

    I haven't bought this exact listing, but the specs match ones I've used:

    Nick's recommendation is a good choice.

    Most power diodes will work, doesn't have to be a power schottky diode. But a power schottky diode will work best.

    1N4004's from Radio Shack have always worked well for me. Is this for a cannon solenoid or something else?

    Ok, great! Will be ordering some soon. With the first battle around here coming up in less than a month it's time to get my boat back to fighting condition. :)
