Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This OptopipeTM is ultrasonically welded inside the customer's plastic housing. The light pipe is welded to the case at
the forked tabs at the front of the part. The light pipe is not attached to the PCB at any point but floats above it. The gently
arcing end sticks through the plastic panel. This light pipe will snap into the 515-1042 to form a bi-level OptopipeTM array.
The surface is textured to diffuse the light passing through it. The recommended light sources are Dialight's 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 8.9mm
pitch. The light pipe material is water clear transmissive polycarbonate rated UL94-V0, and has a 35% oxygen index. This
OptopipeTM is intended for post reflow insertion into the PCB.
Dialight can provide custom OptopipeTM solutions for your applications.
