Recently I broke the pos. pin on my Red Short Open Can diode. I did my best micro surgury and even tried a bypass where I soldered a lead to the inside/front pin inside the diode itself I actually got it on there without breaking the lead to the laser element or shorting to the case. Unfortunately it didn't make it. Later I remembered this stuff: Wire Glue. I could have spared the diode all that heat and simply glued a lead to the stub that was left after breaking the pin. The procedure would be something like this:
1) Insolate the rest of the diode body around the stub with something like this: FUJIK Silicone Thermal Glue and let it dry.
2) Use a set of helping hands to position and glue a lead to what is left of your pin with Wire Glue.
Hope this helps somebody.
