Quoted from Pinballark:Hi
Is it necessarily to use 2 diodes instead of 1 as shown on the picture. Need to replace coil on the other kicker (trapholes) at my Fathom.
Thanks[quoted image]
If you use a single diode coil, when the game tries to fire the coil, it will also fire a seemingly random coil elsewhere on the playfield. The coil will probably be weak and the extra current draw from two coils firing at once can damage the solenoid driver board.
