laser diode sockets

[Kenom]

or are you referring to the socket and not the heatsinks

I was referring to the heatsinks - the sockets should work

 

[Kenom]

ah. then no they wouldn't work. I've got some heatsinks I've had made for the inside of the mini dorcy that work great. You can look here

Awesome!!! - how much is he charging for them???

I have been thinking about getting some sockets too. But not because I am worried about damaging the diode from soldering. So far I never have and I always have the diode heat sinked when I solder to it.

However, a socket would make it so much easier to replace the diode if or when it turns into a nice L.E.D.

shipping and handling was all it was costing me.
