NDB7875 445nm Laser Diode In 12mm Copper Module W/Leads & DTR-G-2 Lens

Description

Listing is for a single
NDB7875 445nm Laser Diode in a 12mm copper module with thermal back half, leads and DTR-G-2 glass lens.
The copper module upgrade provides a huge
improvement
in thermal
conductivity
over the standard brass module for moving the heat away from the diode to your heatsink which gives a much more stable output from the diode.
Don't attempt to connect the diode directly to a fixed voltage source like a battery.
The diode requires a proper laser driver to operate.
I also have options for this diode in modules with the driver installed see these
If your application is for CNC Engraving check out my CNC page with lots of links to tutorials and recommend parts, software and modulating drivers suitable for CNC.

There are many other proper laser drivers but be careful a lot of sellers here are offering LED drivers as a laser driver which can damage or cause shortened life to the diode.
LED drivers are not laser drivers
. LED's are tough as nails but laser diodes are much more sensitive and need extra features like soft start, overshoot protection and a very low noise output that are standard on laser drivers but not included on LED drivers. I have seen a a few tutorials for building a "cheap laser" with
this LED driver
but it is a bad idea as I see it causing a lot of diode deaths. If you do use a LED driver you do so at your own risk.
Testing on these diodes has shown they will land in the 2.5W+ range with a DTR-G-2 Lens.
