LED mount VISUAL COMMUNICATIONS

The STD Series mounts have been developed to control or eliminate problems of mounting components on PCBs. These include difficulty in maintaining uniform component height currently requiring the use of mounting jigs and fixtures or tubular spacers. Another is the lack of a suitable method of mounting tri-lead devices. Additionally, ordinary tubular spacers used as standoffs do not provide the necessary vertical or lateral component stability, nor do they protect the leads from electrical shorting. All of these shortcomings are addressed by VCC's new bi-lead and tri-lead component standoffs.

Obtaining uniform LED height control on circuit boards is simplified with the use of these mounts that are available in varying lengths from one hundred thousandths of an inch in increments of ten thousandths of an inch.

The design of this standoff allows for the PCB-mounting of single, dual, and tri-lead devices with centers on standard spacing. The STD Series standoff has a cylindrical body with channels for both lead separation and lateral stability. Incorporated in the channels are tabs which retain the component and standoff as a package allowing for preassembly prior to board stuffing and wave soldering. The mounts' molded standoff pads allow for thorough removal of contaminants resulting from the PCB soldering process.
