How to Short Circuit Diodes
 
Hello,
I know this is a strange and silly question, but I'm in need of two
diodes leaking, in short circuit.
Is there a fast way to do that? Like over-heating?

Thanks

"Short Circuit' and 'Leak' are not the same thing.

If you want a short circuited diode, just replace it with a piece of wire.

If you want a diode that leaks, put a resistor of the appropriate value in
parallel with the diode.

A severely overheated junction will usually look much like a piece of
wire. Doing this with excessive reverse voltage may work quicker than
excessive forward current, which often destroys the case as well.
