⭐ 3mm LED CBI, Single Level — High-Performance Circuit Board Indicator for Compact Panels
The 3mm LED CBI (Circuit Board Indicator), single level, is one of the most widely used panel-mount light indicators in modern electronic systems. Designed for compact layouts and reliable long-term operation, this single-level CBI module integrates a 3mm LED inside a precision-molded housing for accurate alignment and superior visibility.
Built for OEMs, engineers, and system integrators, the 3mm LED CBI delivers high contrast, stable brightness, and consistent mechanical alignment, making it ideal for control systems, instrumentation devices, communication equipment, and appliance indicators.
Available in many color combinations—including Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White, Bi-color, and RGB—this single-level CBI offers unmatched flexibility for multi-status signaling applications.
???? Key Features of the 3mm LED CBI (Single Level)
✔ Precision Single-Level PCB Alignment
The integrated housing and pre-formed leads ensure the LED sits perfectly aligned on the PCB, eliminating manual adjustments and improving assembly speed.
✔ High-Contrast Black Housing
The black rectangular housing increases the contrast between ON/OFF states, significantly improving visibility for users, especially in bright environments.
✔ Multiple Color Options
Choose from a wide array of LED colors and combinations, such as:
-
Single Colors: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, White
-
Bi-color: Red/Green, Red/Yellow, Red/Blue
-
Tri-color & RGB Options for dynamic or multi-mode indicators
These options allow designers to create intuitive and clear status signals.

High-quality chips ensure stable luminous output, essential for safety-critical and commercial equipment.
???? Superior Reliability
With flame-retardant housing, RoHS compliance, and robust LED internals, this CBI delivers consistent performance even under heavy-duty operation.
???? Case Study: Industrial Controller Manufacturer
A European automation company integrated the 3mm single-level LED CBI into their modular PLC diagnostic panel. By switching from standard THT LEDs to CBI modules:
-
Assembly time was reduced by 34%
-
Misalignment defects dropped to 0.5%
-
Visual clarity improved dramatically due to the black housing and controlled viewing angle
The manufacturer implemented different colors for different controller modes (Green = Run, Yellow = Warning, Red = Error), improving user response times.
