Resource for ReadyMade Diode Arrays

[LaserCo]

For those without their own machine shop tools I might have found something useful for making a diode array, if I cant use them for that then I can at least flip these big ones over and use the flat backside with no holes.

One of these is a Parker VAN22-5003-04 with 8mm holes & has no threading, could be drilled/tapped to m9.05 or 12mm.
The other longer ones are by Siebe Pneumatics 8MMC501M-0801 and have 7mm unthreaded holes, these two types do not have holes that go thru the back.
The holes are staggered 1.5mm.

In my hand two holed / 3 way valve pieces: PS2966P by PARKER, these have 11.2mm inside thread diameter, they MIGHT not work out as well as the above because I will still have some thread left if I drill to 12mm ID.
The holes are staggered 1.5mm.

Interesting- nice find- thnx for sharing- are their prices in that link for the biogger ones? I see the one with two hole in your hand is ~18$usd and change.. nice black anodized.

the link that shows the price is for the puny 2 holed one, I didnt immediately find a site that had the big ones for sale or I would had posted it, all I found was info and pdf's but I'm sure if one were to call one of the companies up that they might get somewhere.. these things are not THAT old
