Holy @#$%... $100 488nm diode!!

Any news yet J? We're dying here, even "1 if real, 2 if fake" will work :crackup:

Yes I'm guessing they are!

Christ guys ... no need to spam the thread asking for updates. I'm sure DTR will provide one as soon as he has confirmed and has time to do so.
 
I did get them and trying to get through my Monday madness but one thing I did do so far is mount one, they do not match the pinout from the PDF and there is no photodiode. Pin three is supposed to be the anode for the photodiode but it is the cathode for the LD and the case pin is neutral and isolated.

I have a lot more work to do so will update again later tonight.

Hmmm maybe they are even more red shifted than 488!!!! Omg I'm getting really excited.
 
Thanks for the update. No offense meant but I don't think his life revolves around these diodes.
 
I wonder how much later "later tonight" is cuz I have work tomorrow and I can't stay up so late but I want these soooo fbad
 
Call me a pessimist, but based on what I've seen I think these will end up being 450nm or some other lesser wavelength. The company, by marking it 'Lasers', may have tried to ensure that the package DID NOT get to Jordan - to cover up whatever junk was in there.

Still hoping, but I don't expect anything good.
 
Your just being a pessimist Sta! Lol jk

Definitely still hopeful but I think for me it's the price aspect that's blowing my mind and why these are so cheap while everyone else is sky high, I understand cutting prices to gain business but that's a huge jump from the norm

Agreed on the price aspect. It would indicate that either these are fake/wrong diodes or somebody got these diodes on the gray/black market.
 
That pinout could be this diode instead SDL-488-60-501G
But I think this diode has 4 pins!
