6x diode testing

[andy_con]

got myself a 6x diode from here for some testing -

http://www.o-like.com/b2b_cpinfo.asp?id=1053

the results so far - this is with heat sink only NO tec. as you can see from the pic's the thermometer is attached to the top of the diode block

start -

145ma
152mw
22.5deg's

30mins

152mw
25.2deg's

1 hour

152mw
25.6deg's

Now i know from previous diode testing that if the mw’s hasnt dropped for a whole hour the diode can handle this power without any problems. So turned it up to 200mw’s.

180ma
200mw
25.6deg's

1.5hours

198mw
27.5deg's


2.5hours

197mw
27.8deg's


3 hours

197mw
28deg's

will update later

Nice time/power/temp test....
Would help if the current was also included like
the first data set...

the current is there mate

set at 145ma for 150mw then turned up to 180ma for 200mw

Is this all with just the aixiz acrylic lens?

 

[robjdixon]

These are quality diodes- I have one at 204mA and I get 240mW with aixiz glass lens

 

[andy_con]

yes just a standard aixiz plastic lens

when i next get time ill up the ma's a bit
