"The Picture" that is referred to in this thread:
pin_out.gif



[highlight]RED DIODE PINOUT[/highlight]​
url]

You see the pin that has no Black dot under it (on the diode itself)? (pin #2 in picture) that is your ground pin. The ground pin is - (negative).

The one to the left of that (when holding pins in triangle formation right side up) (pin #1 in the picture) is the + (positive) pin.

BTW: in the red diodes, pin #3 is unused so you can clip it.



[highlight] PHR-803T BLU-RAY PINOUT:[/highlight]​

Pin #1 is positive, and Pin #3 is negative. So if you were using a rkstr driver, just solder the diode on, with the ground pin facing up. (you will see what I mean when you build a PHR-803T someday)


[highlight]LONG DEAD KES400A DIODES (PS3)[/highlight]​
I remember the days when these were popular....

if anyone still uses these 5-10mW Blurays, here is t3h pinouts:

And another one:

hope this helps,

This is for all the newcomers asking what the pinouts are. Also, if C0ld could sticky this it would be helpful.

Cheers, this has been asked before alot. I also think this should be stickied, and hopefully once even better diodes come out, we can add them in.

There must be a drawing of the 803T somewhere around that you can add AMK, that would complete it nicely ;)

Could I (or you) put this on the wiki?

If your going to give the KES-400.. you should give all the pins ;)

here i made a much better red diode layout that doesnt involve any explaining.

i say edit the first post and add and edit the new and improved pin layouts that have been posted

whats a good mA to run the KES400A diodes at ?
Ideally: lasing threshold + 10mA. Or just go for 38mA which is about that they can handle.
