led lead for pipes
« on: May 30, 2019, 08:54:38 am »
What are those objects which clamp on to a THT LED lead to prevent it from warping or bending when used with a light pipe?

You mean things like this? https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/wurth-electronics-inc/705820100/732-11605-ND/7681950

I think they're just called standoffs or spacers.

Looks like a standard nylon led spacer, yeah.

These are the kind of things you can get very cheaply from places like aliexpress if you don't mind waiting for the shipping time.
