This compact laser diode module provides a 1 mW laser source for electronics projects, alignment tools and sensor applications.
It operates from a wide 2.6–5 V input range, making it suitable for use with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller systems, including Arduino-style experiments.
Package includes 1× 1 mW laser diode module.
Specifications:
- Output Power: 1 mW
- Input Voltage: 2.6–5 V
- Current Rating: 40 mA
Ideal for laser tripwire and security projects, alignment and positioning tools, sensor and detection circuits, and microcontroller experiments. Never point a laser at people, animals, or reflective surfaces, and avoid direct eye exposure.
