7362 Optoelectronics

LEDs - Spacers, Standoffs

LEDs are a type of diode that emits light. When connected to a power source such as a battery, they light up and can be used to create a wide range of visual effects. LEDs are widely used in applications such as indoor and outdoor lighting, signage, automotive lighting, decorative lighting and other products. For these applications, using the right spacer or standoff is essential in creating the desired effect.

7362 Application Field and Working Principle

7362 spacers and standoffs are great for many applications where space is limited and positioning of parts critical, such as in automotive and appliance manufacturing. This is because these spacers and standoffs are available in narrow diameters and have a low profile of only 1.5mm. The 7362 spacer is an all-plastic plain spacer containing no metals, to meet requirements for non-corrosive and spark-free environments.

The standoff includes a nut that is attached to the body of the standoff and serves to hold the parts in place. The nuts come in a variety of thread sizes and are available with square, hex and spline sockets, depending on the application. In addition, it is designed to help accommodate thermal expansion, making it suitable for small electronic constructions.

The working principle of the 7362 is quite simple. When it is installed, the nut on the spacer or standoff holds the parts together, while the round body of the spacer or standoff maintains the desired distance between them. This allows the LEDs to be placed in the optimal location, without the need for additional mounting hardware or supports.

Advantages

One of the main advantages of using the 7362 is its low profile design. At only 1.5mm, it is tight enough to provide a secure fit, and yet still allows for ventilation and easy access to the LEDs. This provides superior thermal performance, which is important in applications where heat and dissipate is a factor.

The other main advantage of the 7362 is its wide range of applications. Since it is available in several sizes and configurations, it can be used for a variety of applications, from automotive to home appliances. It can also be used in applications that may require additional insulation, vibration dampening, or other features.

Conclusion

The 7362 spacer and standoff are ideal for many applications where space is limited and parts need to be held at a specific distance. They offer a low profile and are available in a variety of sizes, making them suitable for many applications. In addition, they provide superior thermal performance and are designed to help accommodate thermal expansion.

Overall, the 7362 spacer and standoff offer a great solution for engineers and designers who need to create reliable and efficient LED lighting solutions. With its low profile, wide range of applications, and superior performance, it is no wonder why these spacer and standoffs are so popular.
