New O-like/Nichia 140mW diode?

[iskor12]

Is this old news or new news?
Plus, are these ratings for constant on?

They want $80...+$4 for shipping.

:bumpit:
Can anybody tell me what kind of diode that this is equivelent to?
6x???? 8x????? 22X????LOL
Thanks

If you're reading the table the way I'm reading it then it would seem that it's a 6x/8x ... if it actually is the diode that they say it is.

If it is an 8x then $84 shipped really isn't a bad price...especially for a brand new diode that doesn't need harvested. :drool:

I'm seeing the pulsed output at the same as CW...:undecided: or no (PO) rating for it at all.

I believe these diodes are from the BDR-S03, which is more or less a piece of garbage that failed rather quickly. I also believe that Igor made a thread on this with data to back up the claims. It's more or less equivalent to a 2x if I am not mistaken.

These diodes are brand new and are not taken from a sled, as can be clearly seen in this pic. Notice the long pins....that don't have an remnants of solder on them.

Maybe that's the sled they were intended for? I do remember reading a thread about the Nichia diodes so idk...

I hope that's not the case, but thanks for the input
