This is a 5mm right angle light pipe to get the light of an LED out the end plate of an enclosure. We couldn't find a light pipe that fit all our needs, so we made it! This clip snaps over any SMD LED that is 1206 size or smaller. Addressable LEDs 2x2mm or smaller work great! The clip is easily inserted but holds tightly in place. The clip can be removed if needed. The black housing prevents light bleed between neighboring indicators. An example footprint and layout in KiCad is available on the documents tab.
Circuit board indicators should be any color and take only one GPIO to control them all!
This product is sold as a single unit.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
