This driver is from a cheap $8 405nm pen style from Amazon. Its been a while since I tore it down and I do not remember the pinout.

Does anybody know this driver, or know how it should be connected?

I will be using it to power a PHR-803T for the time being.

Thanks!!

You should make a testload and use it with the driver. Even if you know the pinout, you should know the driver output before connecting it to any diodes.

If you remember the battery connect point then you can check for continuity between one of the pins to the diode and spring. For example if the spring is + then test for continuity between the spring and and one of the voltage out, which ever pin has continuity that is you diode +.

I have one of those sitting in my parts bin as well, I need to test it though, no idea if it works. No clue on the pinout, but hope you find it! I believe these are designed for case positive, if that helps!

Yes, they are case positive. However, as Jake suggested, a continuity test will not suffice for this driver, been there, done that.

Blord, Im well aware of that. I have an HP CC/CV lab supply. I will limit/ramp up current with that while testing.
