Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This OptopipeTM functions as a through-the-case indicator by conducting the light over the top of connectors or
switches with a maximum height of 0.550". It is equivalent to the 515-1022 and well suited to applications where vibration
is a concern. This Optopipe'sTM four 3 x 5mm rectangular light emitting surfaces appear bright and are optically well
isolated. The light pipe is reliably held in place by 2 snap-fit pins located next to the first and fourth light pipe elements.
These pins positively lock onto 0.062" thick PCBs regardless of individual variations in thickness. A textured finish on the 4
light emitting surfaces maximizes the viewing angle. The recommended light sources are Dialight's 597 Series PLCC-2 or
PLCC-4 type SMT LEDs. The LEDs are mounted in a straight line 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 OptopipeTM solutions for your applications.
