New high-temperature light guides in dual LED format from Elma Electronic are both RoHS compliant and energy efficient. The LEDs can withstand vapor-phase and reflow solder ovens without being damaged.
The dual light guides are designed for solder heat levels at 260° C for 40 sec, or 200° C for 180 sec. The high quality thermoplastic material and unique design provide optimal illumination on the radiating surface as well as high mechanical strength. The LEDs also insert well on all standard insertion machines.
LEDs are available in vertical and horizontal orientations and also in a single LED format. Snap-on plastic housings are optional and a wide range of colors may be selected. The Elma lightpipes are RoHS compliant and priced under $0.75 in volume.
