So with two adequately rated parallel diodes you get a possible improvement in reduction of forward voltage drop. As pointed out in Cerv's answer, because they are both in the same package, both made on the same die in the same batch they will be very closely matched and "current hogging" will not be a problem. "The false theory, is that the current will be spread across the two diodes." It's not false. The current will be spread - just not perfectly evenly - although very closely in this case. | |
