Integrated SMT LEDs And Light Pipes Are IEEE-Compliant

The Series 1283 IEEE-compliant devices integrate light pipes and surface-mount LEDs and are suitable for use with most automatic insertion machines. These 3 mm pipes are designed to center exactly on all VME and CompactPCI single-slot front panels. According to the company, they can withstand all infrared and vapor phase soldering systems. Integrating the LED and the light pipe eliminates the possibility of mixing the various components during assembly. The parts are available from stock with prices starting at $0.75 each/1,000.
