i just recently ordered this from HTD and after reading this post i am wondering how many mA i actually need to run to this diode if it is a small open can. i can only find info on blu ray diodes when i search the sled it came from... i still trust kendall i just want to know how many mA to run to it i am not that interested in it burning i want it to last for a while and be nice and bright for a project i am working on... thnx, Nick

i run most sf-aw210 diodes at 170mA.. if you run it at 130-150 it will still have okay burnning power and will last a good while

If so, check this graph of the short open can...  Looks like it's best to stay below 300mA's...

thnx for the quick replies and yes i am talking about the red ld (short open can) so you think 200-250 will give it a long life?

I would take a guess and say that 250mA's would be a great place for the short open can. It should be in the 140mW neighborhood. (AixiZ acrylic)

ok i have now fried TWO of these freaking things and just ordered my third and i DO NOT want to fry it too i have used a test load both times and it was at 200 mA both time i fried them is 200 mA too much or do you think i probably shorted them out or something with i hooked them to the driver? using homemade ddl circuit

are you talking BE specific about the open can on these or not... I'm suggesting that if you went thru three of these then you need to make sure you have the pin orientation correct 405nm are these  although this is for a PHR-803T the pin conf. is the same The 660nm or the short open can in this example is this  once that issue is solved than your can move on to the charts that Jay has provided. I might suggest also that you start out with the PHR-803T sleds or stop by a computer repair shop to get some sleds to practice on it helped me. also I sourced these pics from HightechdealZ site... thats a good information base for you also good luck

I know I have the pin orientation correct, I think I probably just forgot to short the capacitor or didn't do something simple like that...
