How do you wire diodes in parallel?
#3
Diodes are usually wired in a series. Why do you need to wire them in parallel?
Anyhow, they either have a ring around the edge of the diode that indicates the cathode (-) or the leg that is shortest (on LED types) is the ground.
To wire them in parallel, do like stephen said, just solder the ends together in the proper polarity. What are you trying to do?
