[EE] Mounts for LEDs.

Struggling to find this because I don't know the name
A transparent plastic cube about a quarter inch on a side though a cylinder would be acceptable One side is open with a circular extension which you can clip into a hole in a panel from the front. Then a 5mm LED can be pushed into the back The key points are that gluing the mount into the panel makes for waterproof. And LED is mounted from back so can be on a circuit board. __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: [hidden email] SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* -- http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist |

Wouldn't this be a type of fancy light pipe?

Try "light pipe" as a search term. These may fit your description:
hiq.co.nz/products/category/LP5M-5mm-panel-mount Bivar make a lot of these things. Model PLPQ is square, but seems they are only 2mm or 3mm, not 5mm.

I remember seeing those many years ago with a specific brand name that I
now do not remember. People are mentioning light pipes. A clever approach I've seen is clear plastic thing stuck through the front panel that passes over an SMT LED on the PCB. The LED light goes up, goes into the plastic piece, hits a 45 degree surface, and is then directed out the front panel.

Try these. Available at mouser/digikey, but this catalog is more useful.

Thanks, Aleen and Danny. Those are what I want.
As an aside. Despite the amazing search algorithms on the web I find it harder and slower to find components than in the old days of paper catalogues. I have a ten year old Farnell catalogue which I often use as a starter to get me to the right part of their web site. This often finds something that was overlooked on a web search. __________________________________________ David C Brown 43 Bings Road Whaley Bridge High Peak Phone: 01663 733236 Derbyshire eMail: [hidden email] SK23 7ND web: www.bings-knowle.co.uk/dcb <http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/~dcb> *Sent from my etch-a-sketch* On Mon, 3 Aug 2020 at 04:52, Allen Mulvey <[hidden email]> wrote: > Would an LED lens work? > https://www.mouser.com/Optoelectronics/LED-Indication/LED-Lenses/_/N-b1d1r > > Allen > > From: David C Brown > Sent: Sunday, August 2, 2020 7:07 PM > To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. > Subject: [CAUTION: Failed DKIM Test][EE] Mounts for LEDs. > > Struggling to find this because I don't know the name > > A transparent plastic cube about a quarter inch on a side though a cylinder > would be acceptable > One side is open with a circular extension which you can clip into a hole > in a panel from the front.
