Notes for Operation
1. Eye Protection
This laser is a Class 4 Laser product.
Refer to the relevant safety regulations for protection during handling and operation.
2. Overload Protection
The specified values are valid as long as the diode has not been not overloaded. Voltage
spikes from the power supply unit, even when applied for nanoseconds only, may cause
irreversible damage to the laser diode. Such spikes may occur when the power supply is
turned on or off, or they may reach the laser diode from the line via the coupling capacitance
of electronically controlled devices.
The power supply should therefore be provided with appropriate protection circuits.
Handling Notes
1. Package
To avoid electrostatic damages it is recommended to observe the same rules as for handling
MOS-devices.
2. Mounting
When soldering, gluing or clamping, do not exceed the following limits:
• max. soldering temperature: 140 °C
• max. soldering time: 10 s
• max. curing temperature for adhesives: 100 °C
Any deformation of the heat sink by clamping must be avoided.
3. Electrical Connection
The cathode may be bonded by spot-welding, clamping or soldering.
In all these cases ESD-guidelines must be followed.
