Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This Optopipe™ is heat staked to the inside of the customer’s plastic housing. The light pipe is staked to the case
using the tabs at the front of the part. The light pipe is not attached to the PCB at any point but floats in front of it. The
rectangular funnel end faces the light source while the tubular sections fit through the plastic panel. The light emitting
surface is textured to diffuse the light passing through it. The light source can be any super-bright 2mm, 3mm, or 5mm
LED, or one of Dialight’s 597 Series SMT LEDs. The light sources are mounted in a straight line facing the rear of the part
on an irregular pitch. The light source’s emitting surface should be located no more than 0.020" or 0.5mm from the
Optopipe™. 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.
