7-segment display

LEDcolor3-digit

7 segment displays are classical, low-cost display elements, which interact in combination with other different input and output elements, such as keypads. Mechanical height differences between the individual components usually have to be compensated for. For assembly with SMD technology, either DIL sockets or elaborate sandwich boards are currently used to compensate for the height differences at the PCB edge. The patented 7 segment display from MENTOR resolves this problem through infinitely variable heights of between 4.5 mm and max. 17 mm, which are produced individually according to the customer’s specifications, using tool change actions. These customised 7 segment displays can be adapted to any design specifications and are therefore unique in comparison with conventional solutions. Advantages: a more efficient installation process with low costs and valuable time saving. Unlike conventional 7 segment displays, MENTOR’s 7 segment displays are not supplied with integrated LEDs. This means you can choose your own colours for the display. During the installation process, the PCB is first equipped with the selected SMD ChipLEDs in design 0603, and then the 7 segment display is fitted. Low current LEDs can also be used for cases in which a lower current consumption is essential. The 7 segment display is produced using a 2-component method: the opaque housing is based on multi-chamber technology with a transparent light guide as the segment indicator. In order to display different number sequences, the individual displays can be lined up next to each other seamlessly.
