Countersink 515 Series Optopipe Light Pipes

Light Pipes For Flush Panel Mounting
and Seamless Appearance

515 Series Optopipe® Countersink LED Light Pipes

This vertical, panel mount light pipe series installs flush into the panel and provides a seamless appearance when an indicator cannot protrude from the panel due to safety reasons or aesthetics.

Ideally suited for backlighting applications with laminate overlays.

They are a versatile and cost-effective indication solution available in 1-, 2-, and 3-mm lens diameters and come in several standard lengths, that are customizable within the given length range.

These light pipes are securely installed by simply inserting them into the front panel, and are designed to operate with most single- and multi-color SMD LEDs.

Features:

• Available in 1mm, 2mm, 3mm lens sizes.
• Diffused lens for optimal visibility.
• Crush-rib design offers a secure and tight hold in the panel.

• Compatible with most SMD LEDs
• Material: water-clear polycarbonate, UL94-V0, UV stabilized, Halogen-free
• ROHS compliant
