| Help finding front panel light pipe for pcb LED |
| (1/1) |
| Tegra:
Hello: I would like use plastic to direct the light from a LED on a pcb to a panel 1-2cm in front of it. I see this done in many products, but was hoping there may be a readily available molded insert that might fit into a hole in the panel and then be trimmed to length to just touch the LED. No sure if I am explaining this correctly? Was thinking of just some acrylic rod that could be inserted into a hole drilled in the panel, but thought it would look better to have a dome appearance on the front panel. Not sure if this could be 3d printed? Thanks Tom |

Ok, I have embarrassed myself! I tried the obvious, searched Digikey for light pipe and found no less that 4000 items. Sorry, for the trouble. Tom |
