LED Panel Lenses
VCC’s panel lenses are designed to be firmly attached to a display panel, while still permitting an LED to be easily inserted or removed from its LED lens mount. Available in many unique configurations, all VCC LED lenses were designed to provide uniform illumination.
Traditional LED lens mounts allow the LED to protrude through a hole in the panel. Alternative interfacing methods include gluing the LED to the panel. These methods result in a very restricted LED viewing angle, an LED unprotected from a possible push-through problem, and permitting the transmission of electro-static discharge (ESD) through the LED resulting in circuit board component damage.
VCC panel lenses are designed for mounting 3mm, 5mm, and 10mm through-hole LEDs. Installation is accomplished by passing the LED lens through a panel hole. This permits the PCB-mounted LED to easily move in or out of the lens.
VCC’s panel lenses are constructed of optical grade U.L. 94 V2 polycarbonate.
