I'm just trying to fix the LAD's on some technobeams. I got some 5mw lasers and they are a little bigger then the stock mounts. I made some mounts that fit nicely, BTW they are 5v and when I plug them strait into the lead coming from the pcb they don't come on? on the stock setup there is a small board that the LED is on, I thought that the res,cap,dio where just for the LED but guest I was wrong! dose anyone have a schematic for this small board? The reason is that one of the lights did not have a LAD. It seems that I could make it with some parts laying around.
The PCB added some protection to help prevent the LAD from getting fried. You could probably get away without it.
A lot of those laser diodes modules are case positive so there was a reason that the LAD module had a foam gasket and plastic screws holding it in place.
If it is case positive, then you have to electrically isolate it from the rest of the chassis.
