MENTOR Flexible LED Light Pipe, Transparent, 80mm

The MENTOR 1216.1002 is a high-quality flexible LED light pipe designed for efficient and reliable light transmission in electronic assemblies. Its flexible design allows it to be routed through confined spaces and around obstacles, making it an ideal solution for complex product layouts where a direct line-of-sight for an indicator LED is not possible.

This light pipe features a press-fit mounting system, secured by two integrated lugs that snap directly into the printed circuit board (PCB). This eliminates the need for additional adhesives or fasteners, ensuring a quick, secure, and vibration-resistant installation. The transparent, circular pipe effectively channels light from surface-mount or through-hole LEDs to a visible panel or bezel, providing a bright and consistent indicator.

With a standard light guide length of 80mm, it offers ample reach for most applications. The product is part of the Mentor Flex-System range, renowned for its versatility and quality in optoelectronic components. Its compact form factor and simple installation make it a cost-effective choice for improving product aesthetics and functionality in a wide array of electronic devices.

Key Features:

• Flexible Orientation: Can be bent and positioned as required to guide light precisely where needed.
• Secure Press-Fit Mounting: Easy installation that snaps firmly into the PCB for a reliable mechanical connection.
• Efficient Light Transmission: Transparent material ensures minimal light loss from the LED source to the output point.
• Compact Design: Its small footprint helps save valuable space on crowded circuit boards.
