Optopipe
Light Pipe Description
This OptopipeTM is designed to have its light viewed on a 45 angle rather than head-on. It has its light outputs
vertically spaced at 0.202" from the PCB to the first element, and then 0.195" between the elements. Each element has a
shallow V-groove to enable easy removal of unwanted light pipe elements. This OptopipeTM is held in place by the 2
press-fit pins on the bottom of the device. Various molded-in optical features evenly illuminate the light pipe's angled
emitting surface. The recommended light sources are Dialight's 597 Series PLCC-2 or PLCC-4 Type SMT LEDs. The
light pipe material is water clear transmissive polycarbonate rated UL94-V0, and has a 35% oxygen index.
Dialight can provide custom OptopipeTM solutions for your applications.
