Seen a PM from Heruur saying my items was shipped yesterday ..... now let me see how much time my custom office and postal service take for give them to me
Where are you from exactly? I'm from Poland and waiting now exactly 9 days (including 2 sundays), still nothing.
The voice of experience here- DO SOLDER YOUR LASER DIODES IN A CIRCUIT!!! DO NOT USE A SOCKET unless testing with a REGULATED POWER SOURCE fed through a resistor.
You can use a 10 ohm variable resistor with a 1/2 ohm resistor in series with a 4.5V power pack ran through an amp meter for testing most of these.
The reason not to use a socket for long term use is that a socket can loose connectivity momentarily and the safety capacitor can charge up then reconnect blowing your diode up. This was a big problem with the coherent VERDI series lasers.
