Zener diode for coin door and ipac

(1/3) > >>

Turnarcades:
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......

mountain:
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:

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

Turnarcades:
yeah forgot to say - uk only!

Is a 5 volt regulator fitted differently?

So do you actually have one now that you are trying to replace?

If so, then it should have some sort of marking on it, like a letter and some numbers.

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?
