Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This Optopipe™ is heat staked to the inside of the customer’s plastic housing. The light pipe is accurately positioned
on the case by 2 unequally sized holes located in 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 edge of a circuit board upon which are
mounted Dialight's 550 Series Circuit Board Indicators. 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 emitting surface of the light source should be located no more than
0.020" or 0.5mm from the Optopipe™. The CBIs are mounted in a straight line facing the rear of the part on a 0.550” 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.
