im planing on putting 4-5 1A diodes in paralle, how do i do it?

anyone has a diagram?

 

Why do you need to put so many diodes in parallel?
But if you really need to, just make sure you have them all the oriented the same way.
Then just connect the all the same ends together.

 

Diodes are usually wired in a series. Why do you need to wire them in parallel?

Anyhow, they either have a ring around the edge of the diode that indicates the cathode (-) or the leg that is shortest (on LED types) is the ground.

To wire them in parallel, do like stephen said, just solder the ends together in the proper polarity. What are you trying to do?

i will look and cut a link for you soon but now i need to get my son would say 8pm or so

 

LED series parallel array wizard

 

Why not make it easy on yourself, and get a 5amp diode?
They do exist, a good shop should have a few kicking around.
Hell I might even have some.

 

Call peter.. he will tell u for sure. He is electrician/ bass head maybe god lol
