The old Spike is not an "approved" power regulating device, to the best of my knowledge... it's not in the 2011 KoP checklist, and it hasn't been listed at the site mentioned in the blue box for R48.

I would highly recommend following the blue box instructions to get this old style Spike approved as a power regulating device for this year before basing your design on it.
it can bw swapped for newer spikes easily (thats a plywood electronics board for 'ya). We have the newer spikes, but these older ones just fit things well.
