The Mitsubishi ML601J24-01 is an infrared laser diode with a wavelength around 785nm. It does not have a built in photo diode, therefore will need a driver circuit operating in automatic current control (ACC) mode. The case common pin is laser diode cathode. These are new old stock diodes, individually characterized in envelopes. Specifications: Output Power: 60mW typical, 70mW maximum Wavelength: 785nm typical, /- 10nm Infrared Operating Voltage: 1.8 Volts typical Threshold Current: 40mA typical Operating Current: 95mA typical Monitor Current: No internal photodiode Package: TO-18, 5.6mm diameter base Factory spec sheet found HERE Note: Due to the sensitive nature of laser diodes, there is no warranty or exchanges on these items.
