What Does an Inline Blocking Diode Do?

An inline blocking diode allows electrical current to flow in one direction only, preventing unwanted reverse flow (backfeeding) that can cause:

  • Warning lights to glow faintly
  • Circuits to operate incorrectly
  • Electrical system faults

Commonly used in classic vehicles in circuits such as:

  • Handbrake warning light circuits (e.g. MG models)
  • Headlight circuits
  • Auxiliary and modified wiring applications
