VCC's SMC 130 panel mount is designed to be firmly attached to the display panel and still permit the PCB LEDs to be easily inserted or removed. The traditional method of mating PCB-mounted LEDs with display panels has been to allow the LED to protrude through a hole in the panel. Additional interfacing methods include gluing the LED to the panel and the use of retaining clips and rings. These methods result in a very restricted LED viewing angle, an LED unprotected from a possible push-through problem, and permitting the transmission of ESD through the LED resulting in circuit board IC component damage. The SMC 130 low-profile mount is designed for mounting 3mm LEDs. Installation is accomplished by passing the mount through a panel hole and then pressing a ring onto the back. This permits the PCB-mounted LED to easily move in or out of the mount. The circuit board is now completely independent of the display panel simplifying its installation or removal for assembly or repair. The SMC 130 is constructed of U.L. 94 V0 polycarbonate thermoplastic and is available in black or clear.
APPLICATION - CLIPMOUNT permits the panel display of a PCB mounted LED without its physical attachment to the front panel. This mount enables the use of interconnects between display panels and circuit boards. VERSATILITY - CLIPMOUNT provides a method of displaying PCB or panel mounted LEDs on a display panel. These mounts are available in either black or clear allowing an LED viewing angle of up to 180 degrees. Mounts are available for both 3mm and 5mm LEDs. BRIGHTNESS - CLIPMOUNT provides direct viewing of the LED. Mono and multicolor LEDs as well as infrared and photo-detection devices can be mounted in this manner. This design also permits use of either diffused or nondiffused LEDs. INSTALLATION - CLIPMOUNT are easily installed for PCB mounted LEDs. Simply slide mount thru a 9/32" panel hole and press retaining ring into place. The LED is now able to slide in and out of mount without its physical attachment to front panel. For interconnect applications, hold mount tightly to panel with a nut driver and press connector with LED on from rear. SPECIFICATIONS
- MATERIAL: Mount - Polycarbonate (black - clear) Ring - Polypropylene (black) (U.L. Listed Materials)
- DESIGN: Permits LED to slide into mount without restriction. Tip of LED is exposed while mount provides contrast on front of display panel.
- MOUNTING:
- Mounts thru front of panel. Retaining ring secures mount when used with PCB mounted LED. With interconnect cable, mount is secured by use of an LED connector.
- 3mm (SMC 130) mounts in a .171" (4.4mm) hole on 1/4" centers. Panel thickness 1/32" to 3/32".
- 5mm (CMC 285) mounts in a .281" (7.2mm) hole on 3/8" centers. Panel thickness 1/32" to 1/8".
