FLYBACK DIODE INFORMATION
It is good engineering practice to include a flyback diode when switching an
inductive load (solenoid coil, relay coil, electric motor winding, etc.). It is recommended
that a flyback diode be installed on inductive devices that share a common power
source/ground with a FRC governor.
