Default Re: Snubber resistor advice please.

In most cases of interest to this website a small capacitor is sufficient, as that will prevent the voltage rising too far or too quickly. Snubbers are needed when there is significant inductance in the circuit (so significant stored energy) but not enough resistance to dissipate the energy quickly.
