Unique IP68 Light Guides

MENTOR has added 57 new products to their IP68 front panel Light Guide range. The light guides are available in three stylish head types: spherical, planar and counterbore.

The key feature is the waterproof design through a special shaping of the plastic which requires a precise mounting hole C.

Custom Lengths A from 4.5mm to 100mm can also be supplied, often with little or no tooling costs. Versions using a special diffusing material to produce a frosted effect are available, as is self-colouring of the light guides. The latter allows the potential illuminated colour to be shown even when the LED is in an "off" status.
