| Zener diode for coin door and ipac |

Hi. I need to get a replacement zener diode for my coin door from Ultimarc. Unfortunately I know dick about resistors and all that. Does anyone know the exact zener diode I need for connecting this coin door to an ipac? It needs to go from a 12v signal to a 5v signal...... |

i would use a 5volt regulator from Radio Shack. Not sure of the excact use you are going for but it will accept 12volts and output a steady 5volts. Cheap too :cheers: |

Oops! Just noticed that you are in England. These are fairly common, you should be able to locate one rather easily. |

yeah forgot to say - uk only! Is a 5 volt regulator fitted differently? |

If so, then it should have some sort of marking on it, like a letter and some numbers. --- Quote from: samshaw946 on November 23, 2007, 02:21:47 pm ---It needs to go from a 12v signal to a 5v signal...... --- End quote --- Are you trying to reduce the voltage from a 12v source? You might need to better explain the purpose of this "diode" that you need. Is it for a coin counter/meter purpose? |
