Re: *445nm lasers* !diodes 38.50$!

Put a blob of solder over the positive pin stub so that the pin is connected to the case of the diode. Now you can use the pin that is cut shorter as your positive lead, or you can just use the housing of your diode as +.

Kiyoukan,

I sent you the funds for my two items.

:thanks:

I managed to snip the plastic pin spacer away without removing the shorting wire and without stressing any of the pins.

The most effective place to cool this package would be on the face that the wires come out of. You'd have to have some fine holes to let the (insulated) wires out through. Does anyone heatsink diodes that way?

/\ I haven't seen anyone go through the trouble to heatsink via the back plate but I would love to see people start.

So far I only use deeper diode pockets.

In the end I might just have to do that. As it is, I'm already resigned to using it as a labby only, on a beefy heat sink. Originally, it was going into a host-negative light, but the solder connection if I keep it isolated from the case is just too fragile.

I don't know how I did it, I wasn't using tweezers or pliers or anything, just my fingers, and just to test how smoothly the spacer would slide...

I'm glad I didn't cut a pin when I yanked off the diode spacer on my last build, that would have sucked. Thanks for letting us know that this can happen, I'll be more careful next time.

If and when kiyoukan does round 2 I'll be ready to buy 2 more of these diodes.

Tech_Junkie · Jul 21, 2010

Any one hear from kiyoukan? Still no package, and he wont reply to my PM asking when he sent it.

HaloBlu · Jul 21, 2010

I last spoke to him 07-16 (also when he last posted here).
My package hasn't arrived but I did tell him no rush at all on mine.

~EDIT~
Found this in his Visitor Messages kiyoukan/#vmessage3342

i am gone till late sunday....
yawn back and alive.

He may show as online after that but I'm guessing its via a cell. Perhaps hes not checking pms from his cell.
~EDIT~ Doh. Might help me to look at a calendar... Just call me calendar challenged.

Tech_Junkie · Jul 21, 2010

Yeah I saw that. Thats was on Fri the 16th. I PMd him on Mon 19th, and he logged on noon yesterday the 20th.

Heavyen · Jul 21, 2010

Shipment received to Slovenia. Thanks.

Udo · Jul 21, 2010

Got mine yesterday in Germany.

Could not resist and powered it up quick and dirty and I have already seen some blue photons @ 300mA. After a second or two this thing becomes damn hot, so better don't try unmounted. Luckily mine has survived that w/o heat sink. Hopefully it has not suffered permanent degradation now.

Kiyoukan, the packaging was excellent and the diode might have even survived an airplane crash. Thanks a lot for all the hassle :gj:

kiyoukan · Jul 22, 2010

okay some packages did not get shipped as planned.
I was shipping some of the packages out threw my fathers office carrier but they were small so there was never a problem but when i sent him larger packages aka the parts, he was unable to take them as i found out he rides a motorcycle and was unable to carry them
I got the packages back late last night and will have them in the mail by 6pm today.
i logged on a portable device aka my DS and found it very hard to do anything with answered a few Q but i have been busy.
Once again i am back to my main pc with hopefully the last push to get every thing done with this group buy.
And TJ i am also just sending you the 3 mirrors that survived the extraction for free.
A few others might just find a few random other bits in your package.
i just have to many parts cluttering up my work space and thought some of you might want them.

HaloBlu · Jul 23, 2010

Free random bits!!!! Yay!
Hey TJ aka MrSmileyMan I need a "yay" smiley please.
Can I get an extra "Warranty if removed" sticker?

I collect 'em. jk

Sorry its been a hassle to get those mailed. Whenever it gets here, it gets here. All good.

hey kiyoukan, this is gordon porter. i have posted, sent pms, and you never reply!
i realize i have a low post count, but i am a long time enthusiast, 47, and safe. if you need verification of my paypal credentials, i recently transacted with user kevinmassey.. my records show i sent 70 dollars for 2 lasers. then i missed a few days, i have bad liver. i read you needed more for shipping, and i sent 4 dollars. if he cant see this, would another member please alert him? i had hoped to finish build before canceling arctic. please email me at username here at gmail, or pm me. i am the mr porter that was red on your list of sending xtra , but listed as paid. please respond, i keep seeing all these people getting there diodes, and i can get a response, after listed as paid! :banghead::anyone::sold:

k2flash · Jul 23, 2010

ditto! hey dude, i know you, i bought the ehgemus blu from kevinmassey. can he see me because of low posts or what? i want my diodes!!!!!!!!!!!!
