Re: [DML] Blowing fuses with LEDs.

["Joseph Kuchan" <josephkuchan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

A diode that has been reversed biased (hooked up backwards) by a voltage 
higher than it's peak reverse voltage (PRV) reading will short, (turn into a 
virtual piece of wire) and henceforth will blow fuses no matter which 
direction you hook it up in afterwards.
