Hero PLP Laser Module 1mW, Adjustable Focus, 650nm

The Hero PLP Series laser diode module is designed for OEM applications that demand low cost, miniature size, and precise beam focusing. With an adjustable focus and an elliptical beam shape, this module offers flexibility for a range of low-power laser tasks, including general sighting, levelling, and positioning.

Operating from a 3VDC to 6VDC supply, the module features an automatic power control circuit to maintain consistent output, while reverse polarity and short circuit protection ensure reliability. The laser emits a visible red beam at a typical wavelength of 650nm, with an output power of 990µW (within the specified diode power range of 5mW to 10mW, noting the module's actual output).

Thanks to its compact dimensions—just 10.5mm in diameter and 15mm in length—this module integrates easily into space-constrained designs. It operates over a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C or -10°C to 50°C, drawing a supply current of 45mA. For continuous operation, additional heat sinking may be necessary to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
