#162661 - Should I put an inductance instead of the capacitor?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

As per said, this seems to have nothing to do with your original question!

I initially constructed my desing

What design?

on a breadboard

What sort of "breadboard"?

One of those solderless things, with rows of contacts into which you push the wires?

and Idid not encountered an error

Just because you didn't notice any problem doesn't mean that it was right!

You may well have been just lucky!

The contacts in solderless breadboards can have pretty high resistance, and long wires will also have significant impedance - so it is possible that these have combined and you were lucky that they just happened to be sufficient to protect the rest of your circuit.

But your description of your project and how you constructed it is so vague that nobody can really tell what you may or may not have done that could - possibly by accident - have allowed you to get away with this...


You have mentioned about the inductance of the coil, is it ok if I use inductor just after the positive terminal of the coil of the relay instead of using a decoupling capacitor? who has tried this one?

         Yes, I did some analysis on it...            01/01/70 00:00
