Diodes again! help!

[jenner6989]

So i just bought a rckstar driver because i have been blowing up diodes left and right. this is gonna sound really stupid but what would b the best type diode for that driver? Blue and red? please help. i tried searching for some answers but didnt get to far. thnx again!

Any diode that uses 30mA to 440mA.

they will both work equally well. Just input the correct voltage and set the right current and your good to go.

it depends on what you want to build.. if you want red laser go for LPC Diodes

if you want a BLUE RAY... then go for PHR or 6x Diodes...

as long as you know how to set its current (mA) with the right diode..

for example.. for Blue Ray, PHR 803T, set it at 110mA using a dummy load....

that current is safe for your diode..

also dont forget to use your Search button...

First you could have asked this question on your other DIODE thread...
No need to open multiple similar Threads...

Secondly it has not even been an hour since you stated ant search...
Members here spend hours hunting down info on the Forum...

As to your question... any Laser...LED or other DC load that is in the range
of the driver's output current limits will work...
