12,5A Laser Diode Driver PCB Mount - PLD12500

Product information "12,5A Laser Diode Driver PCB Mount - PLD12500"

The high current PLD drivers couple the high-reliability architecture of Wavelength Electronics' lower-current PLD Series with a robust high-current output stage. Tens of thousands of PLD drivers are deployed in laser systems around the world, proving beyond doubt the reliability and stability of the design. PLD Series laser power supplies are found in fiber laser pumping, materials processing, pyrotechnic ignition, industrial welding and cutting applications, and laser diode LIV testers. It is CE certified. A PDF version of the Declaration of Conformance is available.

The PLD10000 drives up to 10 A, and the PLD12500 drives up to 12.5 A. With a compliance voltage capability of 27.5 volts, these PLD drivers are ideal for driving laser bars and stacks for high-power industrial applications. Lower-current drivers are offered in the PLD Series, available in SIP PCB-mounted models at 200 mA, 500 mA, 1.25 A, 5 A, and 6.5 A output.
