BDR-S06J 12x Sled question

[Milos]

Hi guys.
I'm about to order one or two of these sleds, but i don't see it as a popular diode. Is there any more experience with this sled 405nm diode of performance other than Morgan's input from the graph in sticky thread? I'm curious weather its safe to push them with to 500mA as other 12x diodes.

your input is much appreciated.

thanks

Looks okay to me.

thanks. I forgot to check back to this thread, as i saw at work, it wasn't opening right. Looks good, whatever designation we give it
Cheers

These are actually more efficient in a graph that was made relating these to the Lite-on sleds.

I think that these may be the best 405's. I just ordered one. I plan on running mine at 525ma to start and see how it goes.

I got one too... i was so excited about it... but of course customs decided this was going to be my first package (out of a lot) that they would decide to keep for more than 6 minutes. It has been there for a week :cryyy:. Good thing i have other lasers to keep myself occupied with.

I got my sled from Modwerx, but I am too nervous to take it out of the sled till my host is here safe. Ehgemus FTW

just ordered two. I just love single mode power !!!

Question, what kind of heat do these 12x generate compared to the a140? I was going to use a cree c6 host with a copper heatsink. I am assuming a 12x running at 500mA will generate less heat than an a140 running at 1A, but I could be wrong. Anyone know?

But the voltage on these 405s are higher, not double though. Should be good. From DTR's reviews that I read, I heard Ehgemuses have longer runtimes. I also would advise you get a Micro BoostDrive instead of a Flex. If not, you will be ok.

Yea. Im really just trying to make do with what I have lying around. And what I have is a c6 host and flexdrives. I have heard microboosts are optimal for the high power 405 builds but I also know a flexdrive with run it at 500mA without issue. Maybe ill grab an ehgmus host and a microboost for my next 405. I just wanted to make sure the c6 would be ok for this one.

Alright yeah man, not your mom do what you want. just giving ya pointers

Oh, and good luck

I know... much appriciated :beer:

Yeah, I was curious about whether the flex would supply the required voltage at higher currents.
I have been looking but can't find any info on the correlation between increasing current and increasing voltage on the higher powered 405nm diodes.
I have flex's and a boost on the way, just wondering if 5.5V would be enough.

 

[weidmark]

According to THIS there have been plenty of people who have used Flexdrives with the 12x diodes. However I think Toaster is right in saying the MB is optimal. And since you have both on the way, you may as well go with the MB.

I think I'm gonna order one of these sleds next week but was wondering if anybody's seen any info on the extraction process? Some of those diodes look like a royal PITA to get out of their heatsinks.
