Best post ever ^
Unfortunately, diodes can fry from something called COD (catastrophic optical damage) which can occur nearly instantaneously from a huge overcurrent.
Well darn.... that kinda sucks... I have hard time believing though that a diode can run straight DC at say 420mA but a 1A spike could kill it. I have yet to hear of this "COD" term...... very interesting. I doubt many people have done to much testing with that?
