Hi VV,
It only takes a split second to solder a wire or a driver to a diode, just have to make sure of the iron temp before you attempt . If the wire or pins are tinned first and fluxed just a touch will do. To much time holding the iron in one spot is the heat issue. other than that there is no problem over heating a component..

HaHa, a little of the cuff off this thread Richie89, is that a typo in your signature as to your "532" 200mw to 300mw 501b host from SciFi?

Omg! You're right, I meant 520nm. Lol I think I was tired when I did that.
Thanks for correction

Hi cpu, you may do ok with that diode, but I'm willing to spend a little more and get mine from DTR as he backs his and has exelent service. I do buy brand new diodes from China also
