Thanks for all explanation, much appreciated! It’s seems like a brilliant idéa of you with this solution. Would 1N5354B (not sure about the B in the end) do fine? It says to have a Maximums Surge Current Izsm of 5.8A.
That should be fine.
Oh and regarding 16V vs 17V, you’ve got the idea…because there can be variation in the output of the regulator, in order to ensure bandwidth for normal operation, 17V is better and still within the tolerances of the active components powered downstream.
