Pulse to steady output, same thing?

Hello, I am new to this forum and this is my first post.  I need to make a "pulse to steady output" converter.  Can I place the 2nd diode away from the relay, Instead of placing the diode across the coil in the relay?  It looks electrically the same, but I'm not too sure.  The reason I'm asking is that with my setup, I can house all the components inluding both diodes in an enclosure box.  I have placed the original configuration below my setup.  Thanks in advance for looking.

Thanks schoo for checking!!!!  I'll try this over the weekend.  Thanks again for your help.

The US version of my car has a rear foglight that is unused.  I wired the foglights to a relay and connected normally open of the relay to the parking/brake lights and the normally closed to the rear foglight switch on the dashboard.  This way, the rear foglights are actually doing double duty.  The reason I needed this pulse to steady converter is because the foglight switch gives off a pulsed output.  This would have been okay if I wired the switch straight to the rear foglights but considering I used a relay, it turns on and off the relay to the point where you can hear it and it's probably wearing out the relay.

Hi.

I am an italian boy and I am new to this forum and this is my first post. 

I need to make a "pulse to steady output" converter.

But the capacitor is 10K uF 16V ???? Electrolytic??

Thanks.

Hello cowboy_xj,

I have made three of these "pusle to steady" converter and they all work great.  I have used a 1K uf, 10K uf, and 33K uf.  All are 16V, electrolytic capacitors because I use them in my car.  Pick a capacitor that has a voltage that is slightly higher than your application requires.  If you just need a "pulse to steady" converter than a 1K uf capacitor will do just fine.  A bigger capacitor gives you a longer output between pulses or after the device has been turned off.  The 1K uf gives half a second output; the 10K uf gives a 1.5 second output; and the 33K uf gives approximately a 5 second output.

OK.

With 4.7K...... 1 second?

Thanks.
