This family of horizontal light guides, from MENTOR, consist of three rows of light pipes. The round heads are available in 2 mm or 3 mm diameters and are parallel to the printed board on the front panel. This range of tri-level light guides is available in single column or multiple column arrays with up to 30 heads. These light guides use a light diffusing screen to prevent radiation when using a combination of different colours.
Horizontal light pipes are designed for use with surface mount (SMD) LEDs and are fitted to the circuit board using push-fit lugs. The light pipe inject face sits in close proximity to the LED on the board.

LED Light Pipes, MENTOR - Horizontal

MENTOR light guides are designed to transmit light from a PCB-mounted LED to the desired user interface. This transfer is completed with little or no loss of luminance and no light bleed between adjacent elements.
This vast range of light guides are available in single or multiple light guide options, with a range of head shapes and sizes. These options allow them to provide a solution for all sorts of applications. They also offer simple installation and high ESD protection.
