Dialight's new innovative 3mm light pipe series, is available in various length and height dimensions.
This housed light pipe is available in several standard dimensions offering a greater level of design flexibility for both new and redesigns. Specific custom lengths and heights, within a range, are available for a NRE fee.
Design Advantages
• Same board footprint across various heights and lengths.
• Easy & Secure Installation via mounting pins on the housing.
• Cost and Time Savings due to simplified board redesign.
• High Optical Output - due to housing encapsulating light.
• No optical crosstalk, No light bleed
• Offers a high level of ESD protection
In order to provide optimal light transmittance and prevent unwanted light-bleed the light pipe is enclosed in a housing that provides a barrier between adjacent light pipes or other indicators, effectively eliminating optical crosstalk. Additionally, the housing features mounting pins for easy and secure surface mounting over the LED.

Bi-Level Indication via 2-Part Stacking Option
For bi-level indication needs, two variable height and lenght light pipes can be stacked behind each other.
For bottom-level indication use Part#: 515-1250-0319.
For top-level indication Part#: 515-1254-0839 or 515-1255-0839 can be used depending on the desired distance between the top of the PCB and the centerline of the lens. Please view the Datasheet for more detailed specifications.
