I bought a typical green ebay 3v module for use in one of my drop-in hosts. After looking around, I'm starting to wonder if there are multiple sizes of common "modules." You all know the ones I'm talking about, they are just brass barrels, in two or three sections, with the IR driver board and a spring, button, and/or leads. Well, they all look the same size in pictures.
My question is, do higher powered ones come in bigger brass barrels, or are the outside diameters usually the same and they just have bigger innards? Mine is the same diameter as an aixiz, but is putting out around 150mW tested by seller. Also curious if the parts in larger hosts like rayfoss, cni, and the like, if they are custom made, or if they are the same type of modules. Would be nice to get a bigger beefier more stable module, but if all of them are the same size, then that's cool too, I guess. It is going into an aluminum heatsink.
