Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This Optopipe™ is clamped to the inside of the plastic panel. The light pipe is not attached to the PCB at any point but
floats in front of it. The splines on the tubular section on the right hand side hold the light pipe in place for the clamping
operation. The funnel end faces the light source. 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 source’s emitting surface should be located no more than
0.020" or 0.5mm from the Optopipe™. The light sources are mounted in a straight line facing the rear of the light pipe on a
14mm 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.
