Quoted from PinMonk:My only concern is the temperature of that diode over long sessions as it will be stressed with each hard pull (multiball, kids chimping flippers, heavy coil use events) from the game since it's between the power supply and the PDB for all the power transfers, all the time. May be a non-issue, but it would be nice to have some realtime temp testing on it.
Here is the thermal info for the click fix board. Max temperature was ~45 C (113F), so it doesn't get very warm at all.
