I found an even better side button host!
(since the 5387 and 5095 hosts are on back order) The host is made by VicLight...
Smaller than the MXDL side button, and much nicer!
* Only 7/8" longer than my tail switch 'Pocket Pal' build: http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1212910842/0
* Uses 3 X AAA batteries. Energizer e2 Lithium batteries will be included. And a dust cap as well. (this build can use rechargeable AAA's too!)
* FlexDrive (nothing but the best driver)
* Custom heatsink, fit for the module of your choice!
* Easy diode access design!
This is the nicest host so far (IMO). I'm taking into consideration things like battery capacity, choice of primaries or rechargeable, small size, the nice side button,
...and of course, the versatility of being able to choose which module to use for your blu-ray, or red burner! (kind of my 'trademark design trait')
Also, I do not use any heat on the diode harvest. My method, is to use very fine tipped snips, to 'clip' the pins clean. The only heat applied, is when soldering the wire leads to the pins. (about 1 second or less per pin)
Heatsink design:
Similar to my 5387/5095 heatsink design, only smaller. Notice the extra space at the bottom of the heatsink to make room for the FlexDrive and wiring!
The length of the heatsink is 'fit', so that when the head of the host is screwed down into place, the heatsink is held solid. (this build feels very solid and 'weighty' in your hand)
This first 803T blu-ray model, is running at 149mA's and putting out a steady 141mW's through the Meredith glass lens. (Coherent PM5200)
For hosts, I found black and silver. (the silver is kind of a light gun metal color):
