KHS-400 Sleds

[Vanguard]

Hey. I have some PS2 sleds with their laser diode & photodiode array integrated into one package, anyone know a method to reliably determine the pinout of these devices?

Discuss Meta Topic : Pinout & Performance of actual LD in the Lasers forums; Hello all ! Here is a topic which collect all the usefull information on this forum in order to spare time !
Scroll through till you get to the KES DIODES. I hope this helps............rob

They are different diodes rob.

i did do a search, but found nothing for these sleds, will take another look...

They are low powered red diodes. The pinout should be the same as every other red diode, but I'm not 100% sure. There is an IR diode in the sled somewhere as well

the laser diodes, monitor photodiodes & the pickup photodiode array are all in one package in these sleds with about 20 pins., i know they're low powered, but still will be useful for a red pointer or something.

I did not know that. Being almost 55, I NEVER had a ps2,ps3 I-POD MP3 player or ANY of that HIGH TECHIE stuff. I remember Pong & PAC-MAN, & I'm lucky I can run this LAP-TOP. Sorry for being so oooooold. BTW, did you get to read the transcripts of the BS between jake & I via PM's ? This is the type of CRAP he USED to do to me before, & why I got so P O'd. Sorry for the wrong info. about the diodes............rob

Think i'll try using a microscope to look where the bonding wires are going on the dies... Luckily the front of the diode packages has a very big window...
