Lookup label: K DIODE
Drawing use: Schematic
Reference families: IEEE / ANSI, Manufacturer

## Symbol convention

Convention: IEEE / ANSI
Form: Autodesk IEEE-oriented Relays with Suppression functional form
Autodesk explicitly publishes this block under IEEE Symbol Preview. The counterpart is the matching functional concept; no equivalence of every detailed standard graphic is asserted.

IEEE-oriented graphical reference for relay coil with diode suppression, with public vendor evidence and drawing-reading notes.

## What it represents

The diode-suppressed relay form combines the operating element with a documented suppression component. The coil and diode connection establishes polarity requirements and can affect release behaviour, so the assembled relay or socket diagram is relevant.
This is a convention-specific lookup based on the publisher's IEEE-labelled preview. The geometry here is independently drawn to explain the connection or operation; it is not a certified reproduction of the standard graphic.

## How to read it

- Trace suppression polarity before evaluating the control supply.
- Read the selected library and the project legend together. A vendor block identifier is meaningful within its named library and is not a universal standard-symbol code.

## Information to show or reference

- Mark coil polarity
- Identify internal/external suppression
- Reference release characteristics

## Important distinction

A coil suppression diode and a rectifier in the power path serve different circuit functions.
