Family of vertical light guides consist of three rows of light pipes

RS Components now stocks the Mentor family of vertical light guides. They consist of three rows of light pipes with 2mm diameter round heads parallel to the printed board on the front panel. The range is available in single modules or multiple arrays with up to 30 sections. The light guides use a light diffusing cover to prevent radiation when using a combination of different colours. They are designed for use with surface mount (SMD) LEDs and are fitted to the circuit board using push-fit lugs. The light pipe inject face sits in close proximity to the LED on the board.
