LDMOUNT-5A Laser Diode Mounts

Product information "LDMOUNT-5A Laser Diode Mounts"

Mount for 14-pin Butterfly Laser Diodes; Type 1 & Type 2 Butterfly Packages Supported; ZIF Socket; Max. LD Current 5 A

Designed for 14-pin butterfly laser diodes with internal thermistors and thermoelectric coolers (TEC), Wavelength Electronics’ LDMOUNT-5A series are laser diode mounts with integrated heat sinking and simple connections between the drivers and the diode laser.

LDMOUNT-5A laser diode mounts have easy connectivity: A zero insertion force (ZIF) socket holds the laser while two 9-pin DSUB connectors enable TEC and laser driver control. Two basic butterfly laser diode types are supported. For any other pinout, the LDMOUNT-CU Card is available for hand wiring.

LDMOUNT-5A mounts have several built-in safety features. These include a reverse bias protection diode across the laser diode, an interlock circuit for the laser diode current and a TEC Active/Bypass switch to require active temperature control before laser current can be enabled.

LDMOUNT-5A butterfly laser diode mounts can be used with:
