Dialight Optopipe Light Pipe Description
This Optopipe™ is ultrasonically welded inside the customer’s plastic housing. The light pipe is welded to case at the
L-shaped tab at the front of the part. The light pipe is not attached to the PCB at any point but floats above it. The
squared-off end sticks through the plastic panel. The surface is textured to diffuse the light passing through it. The multi-
guided design insures even illumination of the two indicating surfaces. The light pipe material is water clear transmissive
polycarbonate rated UL94-V0, and has a 35% oxygen index.
Dialight can provide custom Optopipe™ solutions for your applications.
