An innovative new series of self-retaining, T-1 LED mounting spacers designed to assure uniform and perpendicular LED positioning while reducing assembly costs is now available from Keystone Electronics Corp. These latest additions to the company’s expanding group of universal, self-aligning LED spacers feature internal retention “teeth” which secure spacers onto LED leads, prior to assembly on PCB’s. The unique design also eliminates the possibility of LED lead shorting by separating and retaining component leads while inserting into a PCB. In addition, no special tools are required to preassemble LED’s to spacers. The new spacers feature 0.020”(0.5mm) legs incorporated into the molded Nylon 6/6 structure to serve the dual purpose of heat dissipation and easy post-solder cleaning. Overall height of the spacers range from 0.120” to 0.925”(3.0mm to 23.5mm). Keystone also offers a selection of “Universal” and “Self-aligning” LED spacer mounts which accommodate both Tri-lead and Bi-lead T-1 and T-1 3/4 LED’s.
