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

Subject: [Milsurplus] Parallel Zeners

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