Alright guys I think I posted about this a while ago but now I understand diodes more I have a question, so I have an 18 watt coherent fap module yes I have laser glasses od5+ but I also have a 300 dollar driver on the way from OPT Lasers. The power supply I have is 5 volts at 20 amps, I was wondering if I could just hook the diode straight to that power supply because the diode is rated at 22 amps and the supply is only 20 amps so technically I wouldn’t be able to hurt the diode just plugging it straight into the 5v 20a supply right? It would draw 20 amps at whatever voltage it would need to run that current correct? And I have a diode on the laser diode so no reverse current or voltage, all I need is a yes or no this will blow it up and I should wait till I get the driver Thanks ! Also the supply is a constant 5 volt output so I can’t change that at a constant 20 amps
