Product Configuration
- Standard 90° Bent Leads: F3/F5 round-top LEDs in all colors and red/green dual-color versions routinely in stock;
- Custom Lead Bending: Bend angles (30°/45°/90°), individual bent-section dimensions and lead pitch processed to drawings;
- Dual-Color Formed Leads: A frequently used version for side-emitting dual-status indication on industrial control panels.
Process Assurance
- Lead Bend Position Specifications: Uniform bending 3mm from the lens base prevents stress damage to the chip;
- Single-Step Die Forming: Dimensional tolerance ±0.1mm, consistent across the batch, for first-time alignment with panel openings;
- Intact Leads: Forming without cracks at the lead roots or damage to plating ensures reliable wave soldering.
Customization Process
① Provide structural drawings or samples (specifying angles, dimensions of each section and lead pitch) → ② Samples in 3-4 working days → ③ Confirm in the assembled equipment → ④ Volume supply. If the structure is undecided, Hongcheng Optoelectronics' engineering team can provide a free assessment of side-emission options (bent-lead through-hole vs. side-emitting SMD).
Engineers requiring side-emitting indicator structures are welcome to contact Hongcheng Optoelectronics with drawings.
Q: Can the lead length of through-hole LEDs be customized?
A: Standard lead length is 23-25mm. Custom lead trimming (minimum 3.5mm) and lead forming are available; tape packaging supports automatic insertion machines.
