Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This Optopipe™ illuminates the radiused corner of a plastic housing. The light pipe is heat staked 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. 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 6.50mm 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.
