This family of flexible light pipes, from MENTOR, consist of a housing, light pipe and lens. Flexible light pipes offer an alternative to rigid light pipes where flexibility in design is required. They can be mounted to the PCB for use as a horizontal or vertical light guide. Available in a range of length options, the flexible light pipes have a round head. The pipes are fixed onto a PCB by two press-in lugs in the housing, offering an easy set-up process.
Flexible light pipes are designed for use with surface mount (SMD) TOPLED LEDs. The light pipe inject face sits in close proximity to the LED on the board.

Features of the flexible light guides:
Round heads
Lens: PC clear UL94
Light pipe: PMMA
Housing: PC black UL94
Ambient temperature: -40°C to +85°C

LED Light Pipes, MENTOR - Flexible

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.
The flexible LEDs push-fit into a plastic housing which is mounted onto the PCB. They have a round head shape in a range of diameters.
