That is the maximum voltage drop that is necessary to go into current
limiting mode. Any lower drop across the diode and it will act more
like a resistor than a current source. At 30 volts, anything under
around 5 Volts should be fine for that.

Hi,
I am lost trying to find a current limiting diode. I went to my local
electronics parts store, and he never even heard of them.
I found some on Mouser
http://ca.mouser.com/Semiconductors/Discrete-Semiconductors/Diodes-Rectifiers/Current-Regulator-Diodes/_/N-ax1ml,
but I don't get the "Maximum Limiting Voltage" part. What do I need
here? I was going to use 30 V and 1 mA.
