5mm LED Housing — Plastic, 7.8mm Diameter, 4.3mm Height

A 5mm LED housing is an essential accessory for ensuring secure LED installation, improved optical performance, and a professional finish in electronic devices. This type of housing is designed to hold standard 5mm LEDs firmly while offering mechanical support, enhanced durability, and consistent alignment on panels or circuit boards. Engineered from high-quality 66 nylon, the housing provides excellent heat resistance, flame resistance, and structural stability—making it ideal for both consumer and industrial electronic applications.

Key Features of the 5mm LED Housing

✔ Durable 66 Nylon Construction

The LED housing is molded from Type 66 nylon, known for its excellent mechanical strength, flame retardance, and thermal stability. It withstands long hours of illumination and fits well in demanding electronic environments.

✔ Optimized for LED Indication & Back Panel Illumination

Designed for LED indicators, back panel lighting, and circuit board indicators, the structure ensures consistent LED alignment, improved light output, and clean panel presentation.

✔ Standardized Dimensions for Easy Assembly

• Outer diameter: 7.8 mm

• Height: 4.3 mm

• Recommended mounting hole: 6.3 mm

• Suitable panel thickness: 1 mm

These standard measurements make the housing compatible with most PCB and panel designs used in consumer electronics, appliances, industrial controls, and instrumentation.

✔ ROHS Compliant

The product meets RoHS environmental standards, ensuring it is free from hazardous substances and safe for manufacturing, export, and use in commercial electronics.

Benefits of Using a 5mm LED Housing
