Miniature Light Guides
Miniature Light Guides open up product design
A whole new range of possibilities
MENTOR’s miniature light guides feature radiating surfaces of 2mm diameter and a grid dimension of 2.54mm. Compared with conventional 5.08mm grid light guides, these miniaturised versions allow twice the number of display elements within the same physical width.
Miniature Light Guides offer design engineers a whole new range of possibilities, particularly when space is restricted. View a Product Example…
Horizontal and Vertical versions
These mini light guides are available in 150 standard variants including both horizontal and vertical radiating types, and single or multi-row modules. A number of different lengths are available as standard and special lengths can be provided at low MOQs due to clever tool inserts.
Panel Mounting
Some versions are designed to be panel-mounted thus avoiding the need to drill holes in the PCB.
Custom Colour options
Diffused and clear light guide options are offered and customised, coloured modules also available which show the LED display colour when the LED is switched off.
