Can someone help me understand diode specifications? I use Mouser Electronics to order most of what I need but I don't know how to specify a diode. Just looking to prevent backfeeding certain circuits in the car with the alarm wiring. The fields I am not sure about are;
If - Forward Current
Vf - Forward Voltage
Ir - Reverse Current
Mostly not sure what the forward voltage and reverse current mean.
I think this will work for me, but I am not positive
