1.8mm LED CBI, Dual-Level – Compact, High-Density Circuit Board Indicator
The 1.8mm LED CBI, dual level is engineered for compact, multi-status indication in modern electronic equipment where PCB space is limited but visibility and reliability are essential. This compact indicator uses a dual-level CBI design, enabling two vertically aligned LED positions in one small footprint. For customers seeking a space-saving yet highly effective indicator solution, this 1.8mm LED CBI offers outstanding performance, long operating life, and excellent color uniformity.
Its dual-stacked LED configuration allows designers to show two independent status signals—such as standby/run, warning/normal, power/activity—within the same localized display region. With its black PA66 housing, the indicator provides high contrast, making the ON/OFF states clear even in bright environments.
Key Features
