PLTR5-8MM-PR2

Light pipes are a technology that is used to transport light from a source to a target without the transmission of heat. They are typically constructed of plastic, metal or glass and have a core of light-transmitting material, which takes the form of either a solid rod or hollow tube. The PLTR5-8MM-PR2 light pipe is a specialized light-pipe product manufactured by Krantech, a company that specializes in light pipes and optical sensor systems. This light pipe is designed to provide reliable and efficient delivery of light in industrial, automotive, aerospace, and medical markets.

The PLTR5-8MM-PR2 light pipe has a total length of 5.8mm and a diameter of 4.8mm. It features a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) coating and a silicone adhesive that serves as a light-sealing material. This light pipe is designed to efficiently transmit the light across shorter distances, and is suitable for applications such as infrared communication, barcode scanning or PLC lighting systems.

The working principle of the PLTR5-8MM-PR2 light pipe is based on total internal reflection (TIR), which occurs when light passes from one medium to another with a different refractive index. In this case, the TIR occurs in the PMMA coating of the pipe, where light passing from the source into the pipe is repeatedly reflected off the interior walls until it reaches its target. The unique design of the PMMA coating and silicone adhesive allows for a relatively low loss of light over long distances, thus providing efficient light transmission.

The PLTR5-8MM-PR2 light pipe is designed for use in a variety of applications. In industrial systems, it can be used for board-level LED control, as well as providing illumination for backlighting LCD displays. In automotive systems, the light pipe can be used for instrument panel backlighting, as well as for LED strip lighting in automobiles. In aerospace systems, it can be used for warning systems or traffic control panels. Finally, in medical systems, it can be used for medical device lighting and illumination.

The PLTR5-8MM-PR2 light pipe is designed to provide durable and reliable light transmission, with minimal light loss. Its special design provides efficient and energy-efficient transmission of light over longer distances. Its applications range from industrial, automotive, aerospace and medical systems, making it a versatile and cost-effective lighting solution. As a result, the PLTR5-8MM-PR2 light pipe is an indispensable tool for any company looking to optimize their lighting systems.
