If you need to visually indicate the state of a device or system, LED indicators are a popular choice. These small, low-power devices provide a clear, bright visual cue for anything from simple on-off states to complex, multi-stage processes. If you are looking for LED indicators for panel mounting, RJS Electronics offers a wide range of options to suit different applications. In this blog post, we will explore some basic information about LED indicators for panel mounting.
Components of an LED Indicator
LED indicators consist of three main components: the LED, the lens, and the housing. The LED produces the light which is focused and dispersed through the lens. The lens is often colored to provide contrast or to filter out certain wavelengths of light. The housing is designed to hold the LED and lens and to provide a mounting interface. Often, the housing is also designed to provide environmental protection or resistance to vibration or shock.
Types of LED Indicators
LED indicators can be divided into two categories: discrete or multi-element. Discrete indicators consist of a single LED mounted behind a Lens. They are the simplest and most common indicator configuration and are available in a range of sizes, colours, and shapes. Multi-element indicators incorporate multiple LEDs in a single housing. These are more complex to design, and manufacture compared to discrete indicators, but they are capable of showcasing more information. They are common in applications that require multiple stages of system status monitoring.
We supply both plastic and metal panel mount indicators, as well as, panel LED indicators.
Options for LED Indicators
When considering LED indicators for panel mounting, there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, indicator size and mounting type must be considered. RJS Electronics offers a variety of shapes and sizes for panel mounting, including round, square, and rectangular options. Secondly, environmental considerations such as temperature and humidity must be taken into account. Depending on the application, certain housings or lenses can provide additional protection from harsh operating environments.
Final Thoughts
LED indicators are an excellent way to visually communicate process states in devices and systems. These low-power devices are easy to integrate and provide a clear visual cue to results. RJS Electronics offers a range of options for LED indicators for panel mounting, which can be customized to meet various application requirements. When selecting an LED indicator, it is important to consider size, mounting, and potential environmental factors in order to make the best choice for your application.
