Well my problem is when I removed a drive from the diode I didn't pay close enough attention to what leads were on what side of the driver, what I do know for certain is the diode case lead and one of the other two leads were connected together on one side of the driver and the other lead was connected to the driver on the other side BUT I don't know which was positive and which was the negative going to the driver ?
Was the diode positive by it's self going to one side of the driver and the diode negative together with the diode case lead was going to the other side of the driver ?
Or
Was it the diode negative by it's self going to one side of the driver and the diode positive together with the diode case lead was going to the other side of the driver ?
It was one of those two ways but I don't know which way it was ???
Here is a diagram of the way I'm certain it was wired with the unknown being pin 1 and pin 2 as I have labeled them in this diagram for reference here only, In a layout like this with a positive case ground what lead from a case grounded diode would have the diode case lead connected with one of the other two diode leads going to the driver ???
Also I can say with certainty that my diode is like the one in this picture and pin 1 and pin 2 are connected to the driver at the same spot and pin 3 goes to the other side of the driver, So can Pin 1 be a positive lead Or a negative lead and go to the driver with the diode case lead which I know is Pin 2 ?
Or if to go to the driver with the diode case lead Pin 2 it can only be one of them, then what must Pin 1 be ?
