A Schottky diode in the standby power supply of a Panasonic TH-P42X30T plasma TV failed short but I don't have a spare or any close substitute. It's a B3100 (3A, 100V) used in a single-diode half-wave configuration.
The DC output seems to be 15V. Load current, peak reverse voltage and frequency unknown. I have some 1N5822s which have a Vr rating of only 40V.
Ordering parts from here takes a month or more. I'd like to do at least a temporary replacement of the diode and see if there's anything else wrong.
I'm thinking of using two 1N5822s in series and parallel each with a resistor to help distribute the reverse voltage evenly. Choosing a suitable resistor value wouldn't be a problem with low-leakage Si PN diodes but the 1N5822 has a published max
What value of resistors do you suggest? Is my idea at all feasible?
