The pinout/polarity of this certain diode.

I would like to know if the pinout/polarity of these certain laser diode would be the same as a phr/4x/6x.

I just don't like stuffing up diodes. (Considering this is 80 bucks I REALLY don't want to kill it

)

EDIT

o you think this would be fine at 160mw (160ma).?

Cause the phr is rated at 60mw and its up-to 150mw and this is rated at 120mw so it should be upto 220mw right?

The pinout and polarity are stated clearly right there on the page you linked to. If you can't read the drawing you probably shouldn't be playing with lasers.

I can't see the diagram, sucky graphics for me

My LCD screen SUCKS at reading that so I can't make out what the hell the thing says.

Could you please just provide the polarity?

It's proberly like this isn't it.

o +

.......o Case pin

o -

(o = pin)

THe square notch is pin 2. Pin 2 is the case pin (marked no connection). Looking at the notch side of the diode with the pins downwards, pin 1 is to the left and pin 3 to the right.

1 o---->|-----o 3

You should probably learn to use the zoom feature in your browser.

So is it

o +

..........o case pin

o -

or

o -

..........o case pin

o +

Like heroic has already stated.... looking at the data sheet the pin #1 (Anode) is
to the left and the pin #3 (Cathode) is to the right....
If this still does not help... I'd suggest that you not build your Laser circuit...
It can't be said any cleared...

It depends on the direction you're looking from...
