You might get by with a smaller diode, but you would have to heat sink it very well to cover the worst case situation. At stall, something approaching 90% of motor current will pass through the diode.


** Define the term " at stall " - John !!!!!!

Remember - Ambiguity is ERROR !!!

Stall (as I am using it here) is motor standing still while being driven at full rated current.
