Listing is for a brand new single 300mW 635nm laser diode in a standard 12mm Aixiz module with leads attached. Mitsubishi  ML520G71  Please Note this unit uses a standard Aixiz module which comes with an acrylic lens in it. It is for those that want to use their own lens solution. It will keep dust and contaminates out of the module until you are ready to put yours in. Replace with lens of choice. Threading is M9X0.5 which is the most common threading used. The best options are the Aixiz 405/445 Glass Lens or the 405 G-1 Lens. Save yourself the headache of pressing and soldering. Just add heatsink, lens and driver. The current must be limited the diode.(800mA max suggested). Don't attempt to connect directly to a battery or you will damage this diode. I do offer a boost driver that is capable of driving this diode off a single Li-Ion see my other offerings below. This is the diode that everyone has been talking about.





Here is what you get. A single brand new module with leads including case. 
Wire assignment is:

White Case



Diodes are current hungry and as they heat up their internal resistance is lowered causing them to want to draw more current. Don't attempt to connect the diode directly to a fixed voltage source like a battery. You must use a "constant current" power source like a current limiting driver or variable current power supply with the current limited to no more than 800mA or you diode will suffer thermal runaway and die. For more info on the reason for a constant current driver see this thread.

Laser Driver - It Can Be Done!

Modules are tested to be in working order and packaged with leads soldered together to prevent ESD damage. Please use ESD precautions and short your driver leads discharging any capacitors before hooking up your driver to the diode.









Running off my bench power supply and encased in a finned heatsink. Check out these awesome shots.(Finned heatsink not included)







If you are looking for a host here are some of the more popular host/heatsink kits that will work with these diodes and if you want something that is not listed in those links that I show in my tutorials below shoot me a message and I can point you in the right direction for them.;)

 





Here is a list of tutorials I have made and experiments that can help give you ideas for your next project.
