Powell Electronics stocks specialized light pipe design kits from Bivar for panel mount or board mount designs
Available through Powell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, are specialized light pipe design kits from Bivar tailored for either panel mount or board mount designs. Each kit includes a selection of Bivar’s most popular light pipes and enables design integrate the light pipes into their designs. The Panel Press-Fit (PPF) design kit is ideal when short-distance light pipes that can press securely into a panel are required. The PPF kit features a range of Bivar’s most popular PPF light pipes and also includes some IP rated options.
ZeroLightBleed (ZLB) design kits include the latest ZeroLightBleed™ light pipes from Bivar. They represent an innovative adapter technology which includes built-in surface mount LED. ZLB light pipes provide maximum light transmission by channeling light directly to the lens.

Expanded ultra-high-density Series 125 adds new form factors while maximising channel density for ATE
Pickering’s Series 125—which set a new benchmark for packing density with the industry’s smallest DPST reed relays—adds 1 Form A, 1 Form B, 1 Form C, and coaxial options
Leading manufacturer of high performance reed relays, Pickering Electronics has expanded its the industry’s smallest 2 Form A DPST (double- pole, single-throw) reed relay—adding 1 Form A, 1 Form B, 1 Form C, and 1 Form A coaxial options to provide additional switching options. Variants in the expanded range switch up to 1 amp, 20 watts and feature 3, 5, or 12 volt coils, while stacking on a compact 5mm x 5mm pitch. Thanks to instrumentation-grade switches, the relays insulation resistance and low contact resistance. “Series 125’s ultra-high-density form factor is designed so that engineers no longer need to compromise between performance and space—making it ideal for those who need to maximise PCB real estate in applications like ATE (automated test equipment) switching matrices or multiplexers,” smallest dual-pole reed relay footprint, our expanded Series 125 has now added 1 Form A, 1 Form B, 1 space-constrained cards.”
