I need to supply 12 vdc (15vdc max) to a DC solenoid valve (1.7 amp continuous draw) from two separate source. I cannot have either source back feed the other so I think a diode in the output of each supply would work well to keep the sources isolated. I am not familiar with how to specify a diode and was looking for help in identifying the appropriate specs for the required diodes. This will be used in a piece of mobile equipment so there will be substantial vibration and temperature swings. The solenoid will not cycle more than once per second and continuous on time may be around 20-30 minutes at any time. I may also need to place the diode within a wiring harness but if not possible, could install in an enclosure. I am looking for heavy duty and reliable, cost is not a significant factor. Any ideas on commercially available connectors to incorporate the diode into a harness would be appreciated as well.
