M Rutty & Co. are delighted to add to its product offering Bivar’s release of the PM5-3 Series, a 3 lead common cathode, bi-colour 5mm panel mount LED assembly.
The first in a line of bi-colour LED assemblies, the new PM5-3 series extends Bivar’s existing panel mount assembly product line and features input driven colour adjustment capabilities to address the growing demand for enhanced LED indication in a wide variety of commercial and industrial machinery.
Panel mount LED assemblies are used in a variety of products that range from rugged computers, power supplies and data storage devices to large manufacturing machinery and even gas pumps.
The range is ideally suited to:
 Medical Devices
Automotive
Heavy Equipment
Indoor/Outdoor Instrumentation
Transportation Communication
Equipment Digital Security
Today, this machine to human interface is accomplished through LED indication and many manufacturers want it to be more intelligent. “LED indication is one of the most interesting application areas benefitting from recent LED advancements,” said Mike Finn, Bivar vice president of sales and marketing. “LEDs are traditionally used in large manufacturing and industrial machinery to communicate ‘on’ and ‘off’ status. But manufacturers are building in more options for communication – ‘standby,’ ‘system running’ and a variety of system status messages are now available, each requiring a different colour. Our new bi-colour panel mount assembly gives engineers the option to design multi-signal displays and our colour adjustment capabilities offer distinctive colour combinations that reflect the uniqueness of their products.”
In addition to multi-colour status indicator, the new PM5-3 Series also offers multiple configuration choices that include stripped wires and 0.100” pitch 3-pin connector. The new series is available in 0.16” protrusion and recessed versions, giving engineers design options for how the LED will appear in an end-product application. The new series is available with unlimited wire lengths (even greater than 48” if necessary), is vibration resistant and easy to install.
Additional features include:
