Dialight Optopipe® Light Pipe Description

This Optopipe® mimics a 5-position array of 2 x 5mm LEDs, and functions as a through-the-panel indicator. Each element has a diffused viewing surface and a shallow V-groove that permits easy customer removal of unwanted elements. The array is held in place by 2 press-fit pins located beneath the second and fourth elements. The recommended light sources are Dialights 597 Series PLCC-2 or PLCC-4 Type SMT LEDs. The SMT LEDs are mounted in a straight line under the rear of the part on a 5.08mm pitch. The light pipe material is water clear transmissive polycarbonate rated UL94-V0, and has a 35 oxygen index.

Dialight can provide custom Optopipe® solutions for your applications.
