Black square housings from china?

[joeybab3]

I just ordered one of those black aluminum housings thats usually listed as "stage laser", one such is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/33x33x50mm-Laser-Module-Housing-for-5-6mm-TO-18-LD-with-Lens-Aluminium-Part-/191353474393?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c8d8e4d59

I seem to have figured out how to assemble it, but it doesn't quite make sense where everything goes...? any ideas or links?

It seems to me that the black aluminum housing is a heatsink for 12mm module.

Nope.

Post pictures of what all you got Joey. The sellers pictures are pretty craptastic, but usually with these you put the diode in a holder and it is held in place with a retaining ring.
