RS PRO Red Panel Mount Indicator, 12V dc, 8mm Mounting Hole Size, Solder Tab Termination

Brought to you by RS Pro, a range of LED indicators. Each indicator has a compact and robust high quality build, complete with a solder tab termination. The relative ease of the installation process ensures these LED indicators are perfect for your application. With tri-colour options available, the possibilities are endless. Whether the intended application is a signal, warning or purely a display, there are choices to suit all outcomes. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality.

• 5 mm coloured diffused epoxy lens
• Various voltages
• Tri-colour options
• Longevity and low power consumption
• Bright chrome bezel

Tri-colour indicators include two different coloured LED's. As standard, the two LED's will shine symmetrically and output a light with the mixture of the two. The best way to understand the function would be similar to mixing paint. As an example red and green would make yellow, if the two LED's were red and green, the emitting light from the indicator would be a bright yellow.

Uses of indicators fall entirely down to the user. They can be fixed to PCB circuit boards and mounted on push buttons and switches. Primarily, these types of indicators are used within circuit boards and electronic designs. This is due to their relatively small size, as compared with other types of indicators, such as car turn signals.

LED's have many benefits, the longevity and low power consumption are the main selling points of an LED. However, there are various other reasons to consider:

• Temperature - LED's give off a far cooler temperature than what an incandescent or neon light would.
• Direction - LED's will only emit light in a single direction, reducing the need for additional components, such as reflectors. Although this wouldn't apply if the LED indicator is being used as a circuit board signal.

As standard, each LED indicator is fully supplied with a fixing nut, washer and a gasket. To ensure a quick and easy installation process.
