In summary, the Dialight Prism® is a surface mount solution which allows for automation and reduces manufacturing costs. Prism is an SMT indicator designed to survive 260°C reflow, which is a benefit when used on high-density PC boards, and boards with larger components by ensuring the proper solder profile. In addition to hand-placement, through hole LEDs require wave or hand soldering, while SMT indicators allow the design of boards with complete SMT technology. A benefit for high density front panels is that the Prism indicators can be placed directly next to one another without worry of crosstalk or light bleed. Also, because the LED is not viewed directly users can mix colors more easily, creating the possibility of multiple colors. Being available in multiple element and color configurations makes the Prism a versatile solution for indication applications.
