Mitsubishi LPC840 Pinout?

[Mr. Delirium]

What is the pinout for the Mitsubishi LPC-840 650nm laser diodes?

Sorry for making a post on a seemingly simple question but I've looked far and wide in this forum for information on this but none of the answers are consistent. Some people say that they are case neutral, some say that they are case negative and I still have yet to find that pin is the anode. I've read a datasheet for a different diode that people say is the same for the LPC840 but I am having trouble understanding it. It's kind of embarrassing because I am usually pretty good at reading these

See attached file for the image in the datasheet

The case pin is the cathode. If you hold the diode with the case pin down facing you the pin on the right is the anode. Hope that helps.

Thank you very much, this is exactly what I needed!
