DIY LED flasher relay - parts update
« on: June 14, 2017, 08:39:37 AM »
I'd like Frankenduck (or someone who approaches his qualifications) to double check the update parts links for his DIY LED flasher. The original links are dead or the parts aren't available from the vendor.

Thoughts?

Did you read the posts in that thread explaining why making those arrays was unnecessary or are these to be substitutes because you are removing the original flasher relay?

My flasher relay unit is on the way out, I thought I'd fab one instead.

Unless, of course, it's been determined that going with the OEM relay with the cut trace is the best solution these days.

The oem flasher is an electronic circuit.  It either works or it doesn't.   It can't fail in a way that displays degrade performance like it's on its way out.  Cutting the trace is the easiest and cheapest solution for led blinkers.


To answer your questions:
-  the latching relays you linked to will function correctly. 
- the diodes you linked will not function correctly. Choose some small signal diodes like 1N4148 or slightly larger power diode like 1N4004. 
- the DPDT relay you linked to will function correctly.
