Aerospace
Overview
Constant monitoring of performance and safety is crucial in aviation and space applications. In addition to providing real-time data, indicators must be durable enough to withstand drastic changes in temperature, moisture, and vibration. HMIs should be as sleek and intuitive as possible while maintaining consistent communication during full sunlight, total darkness, and everything in between.
Aerospace Applications
There’s no room for error in the aerospace industry, so VCC delivers solutions with unquestionable quality. We offer a full suite of panel mount indicators, light pipes, and LEDs to satisfy the demands of diverse applications.
From clear and lag-free indication to consistent contrast levels and rugged construction, our components feature the appropriate characteristics for the device and working conditions. Offerings include:
- Single color, bi-color, or RGB LEDs in through-hole or surface-mount options in a wide range of sizes, brightness levels, and colors
- Harsh environment-ready PMIs and light pipes with IP65 and IP67 ratings
- UL 94V-0-rated options for increased safety and flammability control
- FlexVolt™ technology for uninterrupted operation across wide voltage ranges
- Flexible, rigid, or customized light pipes
- Panel mount, reverse panel mount, and board mount selections
- Accessories and lenses for added security or enhanced visibility
When design space is limited, our array of bi-color and tri-color LEDs can simplify the interface. For a seamless user experience, capacitive touch LED sensors combine indication and operation.
If customization is needed, we offer light pipe design services, custom membrane switch designs, and PMI modifications with our Build Your Own Indicator option.
In-house PCB assembly and cable assembly services ensure engineers get their exact specifications, plus the added benefits of streamlined production and efficiency.
