Hey,
I was wondering if anyone has ever used anything besides solder to make connections between their laser diodes and drivers? I'm not very good with a soldering iron and I was planning on making my first build so I was worried that I would fry my diode while soldering it to the driver. After a little research I found that Silver Epoxy (http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/8331.html) works just as well as solder. The great thing is that is uses no heat so I would think it would be much better for the diode while putting everything togeather. Has anyone ever used a type of electrical conducting glue for any of thier builds? Or will I be the first?
Thanks,
