Someone needs to rep Alien. I didnt quite manage the big 200 for him:beer:

I can't rep him again.

Got him, but it looks like Chris put him over the top!

Ok here are a couple of the boards I received. The copper is quite thick and you need to heat for a while to solder to it. The third board is already installed in a Cypreus IIIB beauty with an 07E Ill show some pics of that tomorrow.

Those are a beauty, Grainde!!

Thanks Ricker, I forgot to mention these are quite big at 24 mm!:beer:

Besides these sinner hosts, what else do they fit? Must be some flashlight hosts that would take a contact board that size.

I know there are a few flashlights out there, but I dont have any model names? I actually found the thread on BLF where other versions of this board are offered :beer:

Every time I read the title of this thread all I keep seeing is "Alien Contact".

I recall that Flaminpyro's site had three sizes of contact boards for sale also, a 16.8mm, 20mm, and 21mm.
They were more expensive than these from OshPark, but he offered them with wires and/or springs attached. I have ordered his 16.8mm ones before, and they are a high quality board like these here.
He hasn't been on in awhile, and I don't know if he still responds to PM's, but it looks like site is still open.

Finding resources like this is one of the reasons I became a member of this forum! It opens the possibility to build lasers that are unique.

I just bought some 20mm contact boards from Jeff about 2 weeks ago, got them within 5 days.

Glad to see that he has them in stock, IIRC when I bought my 16.8mm boards, he was waiting for a new shipment of his larger boards. :yh:
