Laser Module KY-008

The KY-008 Laser Module is a small device that emits a red laser beam, commonly used in electronics projects. It operates at a wavelength of 650 nanometers, producing a visible red light. The module is powered by a 5V supply and consumes approximately 30mA of current. 

Key Features:

• Wavelength: 650nm (red light)
• Operating Voltage: 5V
• Current Consumption: Around 30mA
• Size: Compact, making it suitable for various applications

Common Uses:

• Laser Pointer: Can be used as a simple laser pointer.
• Security Systems: Ideal for creating laser-based security systems or tripwires.
• Educational Projects: Useful in DIY electronics projects for learning purposes.
• Power Supply: It runs on 5V DC, which is commonly available from Arduino boards or other power sources.                                                                                             
• Applications:
  • Laser Pointer: Can be used as a pointer for presentations or projects.
  • Distance Measurement: Used in projects that require measuring distance (with a sensor).
  • Light Projects: Can be used in light-based projects or as a light source in certain applications.                                                                                              Safety Note: Always handle laser modules with care. Avoid pointing the laser directly at eyes, as it can cause eye damage
