Butterfly Packaged Laser Diode Mount and Heat Sink Overview

This butterfly packaged laser diode mount and heat sink is one of a series of affordable solutions designed for laboratory and R&D applications. The Model RLS / BTY-T2-XHR features a 10-pin right-angle XH connector to interface with the laser diode controller. The pre-configured laser diode pinout is Type-2, commonly used for telecom lasers, and uses a 50 Ω SMA connector for RF signal input. To protect the laser diode from ESD while soldering it to the mount PCB, always take precautions to work in an ESD safe environment . Additionally, the W1 jumper is installed by default and protects the laser diode from ESD damage by shorting the anode and cathode. Install the W1 jumper when the laser diode is not in use or is disconnected from the current source. Make sure to remove the W1 jumper after connecting the mount to the laser source and before switching on the laser diode current source. Finally, a good quality thermal grease or thermal interface pad can be used to ensure good thermal contact between the laser diode package and the heat sink.
