You’re tired and worn out from the day. It’s a dark, damp, cold night, the wind is whipping through you and to top it off, your car won’t start. Just as you’re about to cover your face with your hands, you see a bright blue light flashing. Instantly relief floods that cold space and you realize that help is just a call away.</p><p>You reach up to press the button and see a green panel light come on indicating a connection. You don’t even realize you are holding your breath until you hear the voice on the other side say “How can we help?” and hear the release of air from your body. A few short minutes later the knowledge that help is on the way provides comfort and your sense of isolation recedes.</p><p>VCC adheres to this way of operation daily. Not only do we wish to assist our clients but also strive to provide the comfort and knowledge that in the expansive field of indication and illumination, you are not alone. That is why Kings III of America has chosen VCC and our line products to meet their illumination needs. Kings III indicators must endure harsh environments and exposure to the sun, rain, wind and even dust.  All these elements wreak havoc on standard LEDs and lenses. VCC helped Kings III resolve this issue with our line of UV additive Polycarbonate Lenses, which are specifically designed to withstand these environments.</p><p>In addition, our CMS series products meet NEMA 4 and 6P standards for use in conditions that include exposure to elements such as rain, sleet, windblown dust and rain and other harsh conditions.  VCC lenses are ideal when used with the Conxrite interconnects for mounting the LED directly to the panel.  Finish your illumination with the wide selection of VCC light pipes and you have provided a reliable, durable method of transmitting the light from a PCB mounted LED to your panel.</p><p>Anytime a special application arises and you need a reliable protective lens and LED solution VCC is here to help. There are many options out there in the world of LED’s and our experts are dedicated quickly and efficiently finding products to meet the requirements for your project.

Knowing the location and status of current inventory can be imperative in closing a deal, forecasting product sales and planning production schedules. At times this is even more challenging due to the nature of materials or the environment in which those materials are stored.</p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Visible Assets, Inc. </em>(VISIBLE™) sells asset visibility networks based on a new wireless technology known as RuBee™.  In the past, RFI (Radio Frequency Identification) was employed somewhat unsuccessfully in tracking products. Physics and environmental conditions such as steel, water, people and electrical noise could interfere and result in faulty data. Rubee can read through steel, water and other harsh environments. It is even safe for explosive environment applications. The new RuBee system, which has been in development for twenty years, provides low cost, long-life, low power, wireless, active asset and people tags that work in most any environment.</p><p>Kiran Panchal from the Research and Development Laboratories of VAI came to VCC Optoelectronics looking for assistance in modifying an existing product so that it can handle being exposed to a bit more moisture than a typical office environment. In some cases the products being tagged are in wet areas or underwater resulting in a damp and humid atmosphere. VAI had been using an LED without any sort of lens so we introduced them to our CMS 442 CTP Moisture Sealed Lens. This product has solved the concern of atmospheric exposure to moisture and making the product “splash-proof”.</p><p>During the development of adding the moisture-sealed lens, VAI decided they wanted to come up with a different cable assembly for the LED’s.  We then introduced VAI to one of our standard cable assemblies, p/n CNX 440 E02 4 1 08.  The ability of VCC’s standard cable to fit this application allowed this product to enter production and service quickly.</p><p>For more about Visible Assets, Inc., click <a

Recently, Bazzaz ran into lead-time and performance issues on one of their shifter lights with their current LED supplier.  Bazzaz knew they needed to quickly resolve both issues and Joel Romero turned to VCC for help.</p><p>“VCC has a massive inventory of products on hand, this is reassuring when our customers have short lead times and buy on demand”. I just can’t wait for my current supplier anymore. I found information about VCC Optoelectronics on the web and contacted their Sales Team right away. VCC recommended and had stock on a part that was slightly better than the parts we previously looked at for less money. Within days, we received the VAOL-10GSBY4 (10MM, single color Blue LED) samples VCC recommended which outperformed the current one in brightness “ Said Joel.</p><p>VCC is has a team of professionals that are dedicated to service and have the knowledge to quickly assist our customers in finding better, more efficient and complete solutions. Our large variety of LED’s with many different lighting, power and mounting capabilities will provide the options and available inventory you have been looking to find from your LED supplier.

In reality, these operations are  dangerous and only the best trained personnel with the most precise equipment  and protective gear can conduct a successful operation.</p><p>Implementing any type of explosive activity is monitored and regulated by the  EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal). Extreme caution and supervision must always  be the first consideration. Specially designed equipment must be precise and  easy to read. Hazardous operations may generate adrenaline but operators can  never forget that there is always a risk to the safety, lives and property  around them.</p><p><div

class="wp-caption-text">Blaster One Control Unit</p></div></p><p>Blaster One EOD designs and manufactures electronic devices for the  bomb-squad and explosives industries. They recently researched and developed the  BB-75 Capacitive Discharge Blasting Machine for use by law enforcement, the  military and various special effects groups.  This device integrates internal  energy testing and a digital galvanometer.</p><p>As is often the case with applications that involve extreme hazards, great  care and thought was taken in the design. Specially designed LEDs and lens were  needed for this project to assure easy to read and accurate readings.</p><p>After an extensive review of possible suppliers, Blaster-One selected VCC for  several reasons. As stated by Cory Star of Blaster-One:</p><p>“VCC had the perfect components, and just as important, they have outstanding  customer service. When we queried about a &#8220;super-bright&#8221; bi-color 3mm LED (that  doesn&#8217;t exist elsewhere) they told us they had just created one! Needless to  say, we promptly placed an order. The current project uses one super-bright  white LED-VAOL-3GWY4, one super-bright bi-color LED-VAOB-3GRGE4-C, one yellow  Fresnel lens-SMB200YTP, and one clear Fresnel lens-SMB200CTP.</p><p>Mr. Gregg Johnson and Mr. Mark Baker took extra concern in finding me the  right components, and providing many samples. We will continue to choose VCC for  all of my opto-electronic components now, and in the future &#8211; and I sincerely  recommend them to anyone looking for such.”</p><p>VCC is devoted to producing highly technical and precise devices for every  application and was pleased to provide the LEDs and lenses for this important  project. VCC has taken a pro-active role in encouraging our clients to achieve  their best by providing ours daily.</p><p>In that interest, VCC presents its Design Award to Blaster-One EOD Equipment  for their dedication to excellence in research and development in a field  demands only the best.</p><p>Additional information about Blaster-One EOD Equipment can be found at <a
