It is Not Advisable to Connect Diodes in Parallel

In some applications especially those involving high current may need more than one diode in parallel. For DIY projects like for personal consumption or school projects, this could be acceptable. However, in talking with professional product development wherein the quality and reliability are the focus, parallelling diodes is highly discouraged. This article will discuss the 2 main reasons why it
