I need to make a test load as shown below:
As seen above, the test load is mimicking a laser diode. It is composed of two of
this Schottky power diodes in series and a 100 W 50 mΩ resistor (to measure the current.)
My problem is I can only use through hole and buy from a specific vendor, so instead of the diodes above I'm planning to use two of
this one in series.
In terms of current, I don't see a problem to exchange and forward voltage drops are similar. Is that correct? In my case, the diodes are dual Schottky. iShould they be connected in series like this below?
