Re: RED 635nm 1WATT LASER DIODES and OTHER STUFF C

Also sent PM about the diodes, haven't heard anything back yet either.

Re: RED 635nm 1WATT LASER DIODES and OTHER STUFF C

Sweet

I'd like to know operating specs for these items:

9mm 904-915nm CW laser diodes $50.00 lot of 2

9mm 808nm 2W laser diode

Also, are the orange laser diodes 5.6mm cans?
How about $50 for the 125mW one?

:

Can I have a sample of the gold solder?
I use 14k gold solder for most of my lasers, and I would like to try this out if you don't mind

Indium Tin foil type solder 137 deg C MP $5.00 an inch long strip, also have pure indium and indium 3% Silver for the same price. Pure indium is an excellent thermal gasket material as well as solder that can solder metal to glass! Quantity discount available on this one!

80% gold 20% tin high end eutectic solder, Mp 280 degC $25.00 a gram- quantity discount available on this one too! Selling it at essentially the cost of the GOLD in it, normally this stuff sells for 3-5x the gold cost! This one can solder stuff without using a flux, solder ceramics to metal and other such "fun" applications. It also could be used in most hallmarkable jewelery repair since it is about 19Kt gold.

Whats the advantige of using these solders over plain lead and tin solder, I don't understand.

Also how long is 1 gram of that gold solder, I measured my solder and it was 25".

How thick is the solder? 1mm, 2mm how thick?

To be honest, if you have to ask, then you probably wouldn't even notice the difference. Except for the gold being yellow instead of silver in color, of course, but that's beside the point.

It suffices to say, it's "better".

But "how" is it better?

Flows better?

Melts at lower Temps?

Looks better?

harder?

See what I mean?

Re: RED 635nm 1WATT LASER DIODES and OTHER STUFF C

Lower melting temp, probably better thermal conduction characteristics, etc. It's often used in situations where other non-leaded solders require too high of a melting temp for the components. For the conduction characteristics it won't make much difference for a DIYer. If you live in some country that prohibits leaded solder, I'd just (illegally) import it rather than pay for something like this, because non-leaded soldering for nearly all DIY is just plain ridiculous.

If price weren't an issue, the indium solder would be better, but when price comes into the picture it's a type of solder that is literally "if you have to ask, you don't need it."

What about a half-watt 635nm pressed in focusable module?
...im too scared about fitting a tiny fragile 75 bucks diode myself :-[

First of all, c-mounts can't be "pressed in" something.
They need to be bilted to a heatsink with a screw.

Re: RED 635nm 1WATT LASER DIODES and OTHER STUFF C

The indium tin has the lowest melting point 118 degC of any reasonably strong soldering material, The indium and indium silver can be used as a low temp soldering, at 157 deg c, the indium 3% silver is suitable for soldering thin gold plated parts. Indium solders are unique because they all can stick to glass, ceramic or other materials.

In addition to use as solder, the indium and indium 3%Ag work as thermal gasket materials as well.

The gold tin and gold silicon solder has the lowest creep and one of the highest tensile strength of any known soldering material and is extremely corrosion resistant.

The 125 mw is going to cost me around 200 :'( That is if i can get that much $$ before my time limit is up.
