UK Group Buy - open can 660nm and 405nm diodes

[andy_con]

If anyone needs a diode holder im doing the below for £15 each.

you can see the sizes and how small is it, fully insulated and heat sinked.

mounting hole in the pic is m3 but can be tapped for m4 if requested.

the aixiz holders pop out so the diode can be pressed into the aixiz holders as normal, then inserted back into the mount. its a very tight fit but onces the aixiz housings have been inserted and turned to gain maximum power just add a dab of glue to the back of the aixiz holder to stop them moving.

very simple yet effective holder.

at the last UK meet i had a dual open can red set in an identical holder running at 250mw each all day and it wasnt even warm at the end of the day.

the pics are of a test setup, the proper ones will have a better finish.

Andy, this is a very nice action and we are all very grateful, but next time include it with the diodes ;-).

Any info sheet of the diodes anywhere?

what voltage, amps, datainfo etc somwhere to see?

thank you andrew. the diodes arrived here in sweden today.

@rfourt got this from google

Average outputs:
Tested two so far with same results.

• 360mA = 220mW
• 390mA = 235mW
• 420mA = 250mW
• 435mA = 265mW
• 460mA = 275mW- 280mW

The "accepted" long life setting is 420mA (~250mW).
The AixiZ glass lens is better with red lasers than the acrylic lens because it is anti-reflective coated for red. or use lens 27 for tighter beam

no there is no info on these diodes.

but as chris said above

are these data for the GGW diodes or 815s?

thnx m8

815 .

Datasheet Mitsubishi LOC diode

interesting?!

ive never ever seen that PDF posted one any forum, as far as i was aware no one had ever found a data sheet for the LOC diode.

but thanks

Picked up me package from the post office today.

Many Thanks for doing all this hard work Andy, its much apreciated!
