BLOCKING DIODE
Blocking diode, also known as a rectifier diode or a freewheeling diode, is a type of diode that is used to prevent reverse current flow in an electrical circuit. It is typically connected in parallel with an inductive load, such as a relay or a motor, to protect other components from the potential damage caused by the back EMF (electromotive force) generated when the inductive load is turned off.
