Is there a difference in the diode that should be used in a 24 volt contactor vs a 12 volt contactor. My kit provider supplied me with the following Diode specification:
"1N4001 Diode; 1 a (Max.) (at)25C IF; 1. Max.)(at)25C; 5uAdc(max.)(at)2" "
My plane is 24Volt. Not trying to stir up the 24 vs 12 volt debate. That debate was settled when the kit I bought already had some expensive 24 volt components purchased by the previous builder.

These diodes are EXCEEDINGLY un-critical. ANYTHING
50V or better, 1A or better does the job. My personal
favorites are the 1N54xx series, 3A devices. They're
readily available at Radio Shack

cheap but most important . . . robust. Heavier
20AWG leads and more robust bodies.
But the diodes you have will be fine . . .
