Oh yeah I know that... My bad. I meant to say, is the diode contact area with the heatsink enough or not. I tried with 1W supply and it seems to heat up slightly if i run more than 10 seconds so I would ha ve to pulse it.

I was like fuck it, so I already press fitted the diode into the heatsink. It would probably overheat in few second so I will only pulse it.

Greetings. I recently purchased cheap 5W NUBM08 laser diode but I can't find the right heatsink for it. I have this copper heatsink for TO5 laser that fits to the rim of the diode, but makes barely any contact . Would this be enough heatsink for this laser diode? Thanks!

Where did you get your copper heatsink from? is it custom made?
