Yes, you do. The induced currents when the field in the coil collapses can cause arcing and welding of relay contacts. You need snubbers on ANY coil that is turned on and off.

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

Well for 4 axis you only need four relays.
The point being is that you feed the input into the board and you can use whatever you need on the output side.

Yes i understand. i bought extra incase i needed them.

Question tho If im using a relay on centroid to trigger another relay, that is powering a motor do i still have to have a snubber? i would think not but im not sure.
I would put snubbers on all coils...cheap insurance.
