Preforming die stand-off with lock-in for LEDs Supercut/TS1 - Iteco 180700

Leaded LEDs usually have to sit at a defined height so the optics fit through the front panel. This Supercut/TS1 die is made for exactly that: it puts a stand-off bead into both leads as a height stop and clinches them below the board. The tool geometry is matched to the thinner LED wire and does not crush the package flange.

Operating benefits

• The bead acts as a height stop so that all LEDs on an assembly stand at the same height and meet the front panel hole
• The lock-in below the board keeps the LED in position when the assembly is turned over
• Tool geometry designed for thin, soft LED leads, the package flange stays unloaded
• Both leads are cut and formed in a single pedal stroke
• Suitable for standard LEDs up to the 45 mm pitch of the Supercut/TS1

Typical applications

• Front panel and indicator boards with leaded LEDs
• Devices in which the LED optic protrudes through a hole in the housing
• Series production with a constant mounting height for all light emitting diodes
• Rework and repair of individual LED positions

Compatibility and scope of delivery

This die assembly is intended exclusively for the pneumatic cutting and forming machine Supercut/TS1 (Iteco 7915.171). The machine is supplied without a die, so the die has to be ordered separately. Changing to a different lead form takes only a few movements, which lets one machine cover several component shapes. The same form is available as number 160700 for the smaller Supercut/RS4 (Iteco 7915.166) - the two number ranges are not interchangeable. Scope of delivery: one complete die assembly. Made in Italy.
