1W 1000mW Laser Diode Blue 445nm TO-18 5.6mm

This LD is very electrostatic sensitive. Only for Professionals with special tools and skills. This laser diode emit high intensity visible light which can be hazardous to the human eye. Operating Current: 1.0 A. Continuous optical output power: 1.0W - 1.1W.

Absolute Maximum Current = 1.2A -> Output power 1.1W to 1.3W. 4.2 - 4.8 V. Beam Divergence II approx: 15°.

Small package: TO-18 / 5.6mm. Negative current transients greater than 25 µA or reverse voltages >3V, can destroy the LD. Rear side used for cooling, recommended 2mm thickness copper plate with triangle hole for pins. Without a cooling system: overheat and destroy to 5S after power on. Temperature on socket over 70 degree celsius is detrimental for the diode.

This laser diode needs Driver - NOT included. For focusing requires 445nm three Layer coated glass focusing lens - NOT included. Attention: The following practices should be followed to minimize damage to static sensitive devices.

After removed from anti static packing. Handle laser diode by the body. Do not slide laser diode over any surface. Only grounded tip soldering irons should be used. Connect to ground Soldering Wire with Rosin Core. Shorted both pins after finished. Remove Short after connect to driver.

Use quality Constant Current Driver for this LD - accurate Current and Voltage. Direct connect to Standard Power Supply will damage the LD. Do not use multimeter for testing of this LD - not show anything, you will probably damage LD.

Note: If you do not follow these, this will damage the laser diode. The item "1W 1000mW Laser Diode Blue 445nm TO-18 5.6mm" is in sale since Sunday, September 06, 2015.
