Panel Mounts + Clips

VCC’s panel mounts and clips are designed for mounting 3mm and 5mm through-hole LEDs for use as panel mount indicator lights.

Installation of panel mount LED lights is accomplished by passing the mount through a panel hole and then pressing a retaining ring onto the back. With the mount or clip firmly attached to the display panel, the LED can 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. Alternative interfacing methods include gluing the LED to the panel. These methods result in a panel mount light with 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 component damage.

VCC’s panel mounts and clips are constructed of U.L. 94 V2 polycarbonate.
