A new type of adjustable diode mounts (here's my 5 cents in)

[Bbe]

Now for my lasers I use these 5.6 and 3.8mm mounts. Very easy to rotate and align the diode. PCB includes ESD protection.
Indispensable for red multimode diodes and short FL lenses setups

Looks pretty sweet! Looks like it will prevent you from mounting a diode at 90 degree polarization offset, though? Or is there a sneaky way to do that?

Just make one more ESD PCB with rotated diode footprint. It will have no difficulty

Or is there a sneaky way to do that?

Very nice diode mounts !

Getting old is a bitch.

If they are 5 cents each, I'll take 20 please!

[catalanjo]

Wow ....an entire dollar.... last of the big spenders eh!
Cheers

Dollars? Thought it was Euros! If it's dollars ill take 30!

Seriously though. Are you going to be selling these and if so what's the price

NO need, the one PCB can include pads for both LD orientation.
