    Star Trek Phasers

    Thanks for the compliments. I really did go overboard on the heat sinks due to my inexperience. I simply had no idea of how much heat might be generated. Here are the Digikey part numbers for the power connection: Power Jack: CP-5-ND and manufacturer (CUI) part number: PJ-005A Power plug...

    FS: X-Drive V6 3A Buck Driver "Sale and Info"

    I have your 1.8A version in a Phaser with a M-140 and couldn't be happier. I'm building a laser for someone, using a PS3 diode. Cajun sells the diode and states that 120mA is safe current for it, but only sells linear drivers. How do I go about purchasing the 120mA variant of your buck X-Drive?

    Star Trek Phasers

    I am still somewhat of a newbie here. Here are a couple of projects that I made. I call them my “red neck” phasers because my machine shop consists of a 1/2” VSR hand drill; a 12mm hand reamer; a homemade alignment jig made for “aiming” the module as the epoxy holding the module sink cures; and...

    Aixiz 200mw 660nm diode power limit?

    The position of AixiZ is very easy to understand. The liability is not worth it. That is why I came here. I wouldn't ask AixiZ for advice beyond the spec sheet that the manufacturer gives. Maybe someone has burnt a couple of these and can recommend an upper limit. I might go to 320 mA and see...

    Aixiz 200mw 660nm diode power limit?

    Oops, sorry for the typo. Yes I meant mA. I do understand that all this is experimentation as to how far a person can push these diodes and that doing so is at the person's own risk. I had hoped that I might hear from someone that has worked with many of these and has formed an opinion. I see...

    Aixiz 200mw 660nm diode power limit?

    I was just curious to know what people consider to be max , reasonably safe, current for the 660mn diode that Aixiz sells. The spec sheet states 240mw max constant current. I set the driver at 300 and can hold the un-sinked, copper module in my fingers for 30 seconds with only the slightest...

    LM1085 DIY Driver

    The regulator that came up in the link shows maximum 7V input with 1.4 dropout. Thought price seemed to be unusually low. A Texas instruments (National Semiconductor) LM1085 at Mouser lists for over $200 for 100, which is 37V max at 1.3 dropout if I remember correctly. Please note that the TI...

    A-140 vs. M-140 vs. H1600

    Concerning the 4 watt Soraa diodes, I found this: SORAA - News The article is dated January, 2011
