Dialight Optopipe® Light Pipe Description

This Optopipe® is a standard design intended as a SMT compatible replacement for our 553 Series Circuit Board Indicators. The light outputs are spaced vertically .100 from the PCB to the first element, and then 0.200 between the top and bottom elements. We recommend a minimum of 0.200 between light pipes as a normal mounting pitch. This Optopipe® is held in place by 2 press-fit pins along the bottom of the device. The light pipe is not attached to the panel at any point but can protrude through holes in the panel. The gently arcing emitting end sticks through the plastic or metal panel. The light source is Dialights 597 Series Type 1208 LED. 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.
