Mimic Components offers component standoffs for PCB mounting of multilead devices, for example LEDs, IR emitters/detectors, lamps, resistors, capacitors, transistors and diodes. The STD series mounts have been developed to control or eliminate problems of mounting components on PCBs.
Some of these problems include difficulty in maintaining uniform component height currently requiring the use of mounting jigs and fixtures or tubular spacers. Another is the lack of a suitable method of mounting tri-lead devices. Additionally, ordinary tubular spacers used as standoffs do not provide the necessary vertical or lateral component stability nor do they protect the leads from electrical shorting. These shortcomings are addressed by new bi/tri-lead component standoffs from Visual Communications Company (VCC).
Obtaining uniform LED height control on circuit boards is simplified with the use of these mounts that are available in varying lengths. This standoff design allows for the PCB mounting of single, dual, tri-lead devices with centres on standard spacing. The STD series standoff has a cylindrical body with channels for both lead separation and lateral stability. Incorporated in the channels are tabs that retain the component and standoff as a package, allowing for pre-assembly prior to board stuffing and wave soldering. The mounts' moulded standoff pads allow for thorough removal of contaminants resulting from the PCB soldering process.
The STD standoffs give the engineer flexibility and benefits in his choice of PCB components. This is most apparent with the unit's unique capability in mounting bi/tri-lead LEDs, IR emitter/detectors, resistors, capacitors, transistors and diodes while still resolving previously noted problems.
Applications include the use of the device in industrial, commercial and medical equipment along with instrumentation and test equipment.
