This document introduces a product called Lichtleiter, which is a light guide for front panels. The product has variable length and ESD protection, making it suitable for various applications. It can be used with SMD TOPLEDs or SMD CHIPLEDs and has LED-like display form and flat display surface. The material of the product is PC and it is suitable for ambient temperature ranging from -40°C to +85°C.
This handbook provides general remarks, technical specifications and mounting guidelines for light guides that can be inserted into front‑panel holes. The guides are available in variable lengths from 4.5 mm to 45 mm and can be combined with SMD TOPLED or CHIPLED devices.
Key data include ambient temperature range, ESD protection values and material type. Example mounting drawings illustrate how the guides are pressed into the front‑panel drilling and fastened flush to the panel surface. This manual is written in German.
| Length range (A) | 4.5 mm – 45 mm |
|---|---|
| Ambient Temperature | -40 °C … +85 °C |
| ESD Protection | 10 kV … <12 kV (≈1 kV per mm length) |
The guides operate from –40 °C up to +85 °C.
They offer 10 kV to less than 12 kV, increasing by about 1 kV for each additional millimetre of length.
They are pressed directly into the front‑panel drilling and can be fastened flush to the panel surface.
