Without the R's, a string of unmatched and/or non-avalanche rated The avalanche characteristic is built-in at the time of epitaxy. but, this figure would wander around with temperature as it effects leakage resistance. One diode in the string (likely the best, lowest leakage, unit!) would be the most stressed and prone to early failure. Stress is caused by reverse current. If the reverse currents are equal, how can one diode be stressed more.
