Designed to help eliminate mixed technology PC board processing, the 3mm Prism® Series is compatible with automatic placement equipment as well as RoHS compliant surface-mount reflow soldering processes. The silicone lens in this Prism® Series mimics a typical 3mm through-hole LED lens and provides similar light diffusion and aesthetic appeal to the traditional through-hole LEDs used in circuit-board indication applications. It also uses a prismatic light-pipe in a black housing for enhanced contrast ratio.
