The 650nm Red Laser Diode is a compact, low-power laser module that emits a focused red dot beam at a 650nm wavelength. Housed in a durable copper head casing, it operates on a standard 5V supply and is widely used in Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and embedded electronics projects for pointing, sensing, alignment, and object detection applications.
Key features
- 650nm red laser wavelength
- 5mW optical output power
- Operates on 5V DC supply
- Compact copper head with brass housing for durability
- Fixed-focus dot beam output
- Low current draw suitable for microcontroller-driven circuits
- Simple two-wire connection (VCC and GND)
- Class IIIa laser classification
- Easy integration with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi
Good to know
- Never point the laser directly into eyes; direct or reflected beam exposure can cause eye damage.
- Operate strictly within the rated voltage range to avoid damaging the laser diode.
- Avoid prolonged continuous operation without adequate heat dissipation.
- Keep away from children and use only for intended educational or project purposes.
- Do not disassemble or attempt to modify the internal laser diode assembly.
- Handle with care; laser diodes are sensitive to static discharge and mechanical shock.
