[Milsurplus] Parallel Zeners

[Mike Feher]

Hi Dave - 

 

I think no. The question is how well can you match them? And, how will each
diode behave over temperature. Maybe putting in a series low ohmage resistor
with each like when paralleling transistors or batteries. Why go the Zener
route? There are so many better ways of getting high voltage and power from
other solid state devices. 73 - Mike

If one carefully matches forward conduction impedance, can one parallel
zeners to achieve higher dissipation?
