VCC’s LFBR Series provides design engineers and OEMs with a range of benefits:
-
Enhanced performance – made with optical-grade polycarbonate, the series reduces light losses while providing superior light transmittance.
-
Streamlined installation & assembly – crushable press-fit ribs ensure maximum stability while simplifying assembly and reducing overall costs.
-
Reliability in harsh environments – a UL94-V0 rating, halogen-free design, and an optimized resin system, the LFBR series delivers optimal performance in high-temp, high-moisture, and UV-exposed conditions.
-
Secure reverse-mount system – the plug-and-play reverse-mount design optimizes assembly in difficult-to-reach locations, including the back of the panel or the inside of the build.
-
Options for every need – engineers can choose from 22 products with flat or domed lenses in lengths ranging from .100” to .830″.
-
Design versatility – the LFBR Series is compatible with single and multi-color SMD LEDs, such as VCC’s SpectraBright, LSM, CMD17, VAOL series, and other light sources.
“We’re thrilled to offer customers a versatile light pipe series that delivers outstanding performance & easy assembly when rear access to the front panel is needed.” stated VCC Product Manager Mario Davila. “Our new LFBR Series was made with engineers in mind — from the reverse-mount & robust press-fit ribs to the wide selection of length options.”
