Self-retaining LED and discrete component mounts withstand higher temperatures

21 April 2004 Opto-Electronics

Bivar's CLM Series of co-extruded, self-retaining mounts, capable of withstanding temperatures to 150°C is designed to answer increasing demand for the use of mounts for LEDs and discrete components in applications where higher operating and process temperatures create problems for traditional mounts and components alike.

The CLM Series employs bi-materials co-extruded under a patented technology process, combining engineering polymers developed specifically for use in higher temperature applications. They are capable of exceeding the typical operating temperature limits of LEDs and many discrete components themselves. A rigid outer shell with a softer, shock absorbing inner lining provides the precision qualities of a rigid mount, while the self-retaining softer lining conforms to and simultaneously protects leads.

Suited for all styles of two-leaded LEDs, the CLM Series works with T-1 (3 mm), T-13/4 (5 mm), rectangular, square and custom LED configurations, assuring uniform elevation and precision vertical positioning with a footprint of 5,8 mm. They provide a low-cost alternative to injection moulded mounts and spacers by accepting all industry standard 2,54 mm pitch discrete components, including phototransistors, TO-92 devices, resistors, capacitors, chokes, coils and inductors.
