Low-profile light pipe

31 January 2018 Opto-Electronics

VCC has developed a rigid light pipe that delivers bright, focused light and eliminates glare and shadowing. The LPCR series features a low-profile Fresnel lens that offers a 160 degree viewing angle.

Ideal for a wide range of medium- to high-volume applications, the 4,34 mm diameter pipe easily extends light from the board to the desired surface. No physical connection between the light pipe and LED (SMT or through-hole) is required, providing versatility for assembly. The front panel mounting light pipe features crushable ribs that also simplify installation and maintenance.

For harsh, high-vibration applications, the LPCR series is available with an optional retainer (RTN_150, RTN_250) to ensure secure and uniform placement of the light pipe to the panel. It is available in a wide range of standard lengths from 3,2 mm to 25,4 mm, as well as custom lengths to simplify PCB positioning in relation to the display panel.

Made of optical grade polycarbonate 94V-0 clear material, the LPCR series is compliant with RoHS and REACH requirements.
