Pc Board Indicators

These blue and white LED PC board indicators are high-intensity devices designed to give designers alternatives to conventional PC board indicators and existing right-angle surface mount conventional products. They provide right-angle light sources that are brighter and are elevated 3.5 mm off the surface of the circuit board. Available in both through-hole and surface mount packages, these blue and white colors offer extra impact in terms of color and off-the-board height when used in networking, computer, factory automation, or test equipment applications, or anywhere board-level status and fault indicators or solid-state backlighting is needed. The SSF-LXH103xx Series includes the through-hole versions. These devices contain a right-angle mounted T3 LED where the center is raised 5.08 mm off the circuit board. The 4.6 mm width of these devices facilitates their being ganged horizontally. The SSF-LXH305xx Series includes the surface-mount versions. These two-piece indicators also house a right-angle mounted T3 LED. But, unlike other similar surface mount indicators — in which the LED must be mounted flush against the circuit board — these units position the centerline of the LED 3.5 mm above the PC board. This gives designers the installation ease of the package plus the design flexibility afforded by the off-board location. The SSF-LXH305xx Series is designed to handle IR reflow soldering techniques and they are available on standard 24 mm tape for automated insertion.
