90° Bent Lead LED Customization, F3/F5 Right-Angle Through-Hole LED Indicator
Bent Lead LED Customization (F3/F5 90° Lead Forming) - Hongcheng Optoelectronics LED Manufacturer
90° bent lead LEDs solve the structural need for flush PCB mounting with side emission. Hongcheng Optoelectronics supports F3/F5 bent lead customization in all colors with ±0.1mm dimensional tolerance; samples in 3 days from drawings, and standard 90° parts are in stock.
Categories: Through-Hole LED Series (DIP LED)
When the PCB is mounted horizontally but the indicator needs to exit through the enclosureSide viewduring emission,90° Bent Lead LEDis the most economical and reliable solution: the LED leads are formed so the body lies flat on the board and light exits through a hole in the side wall — no adapter board needed. Hongcheng Optoelectronics (HC-LED) offers F3/F5 bent lead LEDs in all colors — standard parts in stock plus custom sizes from drawings.
Product Form
- Standard 90° bent lead:F3/F5 round head in all colors and red-green dual color are kept in stock;
- Custom bent leads:Bend angles (30°/45°/90°), segment dimensions and lead pitch are machined per drawings;
- Dual color bent lead:A popular side-emitting dual-status indicator for industrial control panels.
Process Assurance
- Bend position specification:All bends are made 3mm from the lens root to eliminate stress damage to the chip;
- One-shot molding:Dimensional tolerance ±0.1mm, consistent across the batch — panel cutouts align on the first try;
- Intact leads:Forming without cracking the lead roots or damaging the plating; reliable wave soldering.
Customization Process
① Provide structural drawings or samples (indicating angle, segment dimensions and lead pitch) → ② samples in 3 days → ③ fitment confirmation → ④ volume supply. If the structure is uncertain, Hongcheng Optoelectronics' engineering team can help evaluate side-emitting solutions free of charge (bent-lead DIP vs side-emitting SMD).
Engineers with side-emitting indicator structure requirements are welcome to contact Hongcheng Optoelectronics with drawings.
💡 Typical applications: status indicators on industrial equipment, PLC panel backlighting, instrument key lamps and appliance power indicators. Custom lead length and forming available.
Q: Can the lead length be customized?
A: Standard leads are 23-25mm. Custom cut leads (down to 3.5mm) and formed bends are available, and tape packaging supports auto-insertion machines.
