Cross Laser Diode - 5mW 650nm Red

Are you looking to add lasers to your project? These little laser diode modules are a perfect fit! They're Class IIIa 5mW with a 650nm red wavelength. You can power them from 2.8V to 5.2V, making them ideal for embedded electronics projects. This module has a special lens that turns the laser dot into a cross, which is great for laser - vision guidance, targeting, and more. Just connect the red and black wires to power, and you'll have your laser working right away. The cross has about a 60° beam spread in both directions. At a 5cm distance, it's 5cm tall and wide with a clearly defined shape. Note: this isn't a laser pointer. It's a diode with an integrated driver, and you'll need a 3 to 5VDC power supply. It has a 5mW output and a safety label. Check Wikipedia for laser safety and ratings info.

Using this cross laser diode is super easy. First, make sure you have a 3 to 5VDC power supply. Then, connect the red and black wires to the power source, and your laser will start working. It's great for laser - vision guidance and targeting. When it comes to safety, remember this isn't a laser pointer. Check the safety label on the diode and also look up laser safety information on Wikipedia. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical shocks. This will help ensure the diode works well for a long time.
