3mm Bi-Level LED CBI (8×4×10 mm) – Dual-Level Circuit Board Indicator
The 3mm Bi-Level LED CBI is a compact, high-performance circuit board indicator designed for applications that require two vertically stacked light positions within a small footprint. With an 8 × 4 × 10 mm housing, it enables dense board layouts, multi-status signaling, and clean vertical alignment—making it ideal for industrial, commercial, and consumer electronic systems.
Engineered with a dual-level CBI (Circuit Board Indicator) structure, this indicator provides reliable, long-life illumination through precision-formed leads and a high-contrast black housing. It supports a wide selection of single-color, bi-color, and multi-color combinations, allowing engineers and product designers to integrate flexible visual-status displays into their equipment.
