I know. I just couldn't resist.
I got a thanks and a balanced rep for this thread. What does a balanced rep mean? I suppose it is open to interpretation by the repper.
No one ever pos reps me here And I've got almost 400 posts. Hrmph.
On my other forum I've got mad rep. I got +3 in one day in recognition for calling the Iowa caucuses dead on (it's a politics/religio-stuff forum, so I won't mention any more here).
But seriously, do Schottky's generally fail as a dead short? My power supply was current limiting at 12.5A at a few tenths of a volt after it went.
