Evening
I have a clock which is a 'kick rewind' type and has a solenoid coil with this BAY83 diode across it for back EMF quenching. The diode is short circuit and whilst I know any high voltage diode will perform in this role, does anybody have data on this diode please, the date code is wk20 1969.
Thanks in anticipation
Rob
