Optopipe
Light Pipe Applications
This Optopipe’s™ larger light emitting surface appears bright. It is reliably held in the panel by 3 press-fit splines. This
Optopipe™ functions as a through-the-case indicator with a textured finish on the light-emitting surface that increases its
viewing angle. The light sources can be 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 pipe material is water clear transmissive poly-
carbonate rated UL94-V0, and has a 35% oxygen index.
Dialight can provide custom Optopipe™ solutions for your applications. Contact your local representative, listed in the
Appendix, for further information.
