Title: 10mm lenses for mounting LDR
Post by: EATyourGuitar on March 16, 2013, 10:39:58 PM
has anyone tried these VCC 10mm lenses (http://au.element14.com/vcc-visual-communications-company/hmc461rtp/led-lenses/dp/1700089) for mounting something like a silonex NSL-4532  (LDR)? that VCC part # HMC461-CTP is the clear. description says 15mm outside diameter and 10mm inside diameter so I'm thinking it should be a success despite the $1.26 price on mouser. also in the datasheet it says it includes the lock washer and nut.

detailed drawing of the HMC461

Are you talking about on the exterior of the box for a photo eye expression pedal type build?

thanks for the link. someone sent me an eye-of-god they wanted me to install into a bigger dual pedal but I decided to leave the eye-of-god as is and just clone it. its so simple. I clicked the diy info for that peep you linked. 517-SJ-5312CL is the part devi uses for the lens. its clear but then it fades over time to look like a molded lump of hot melt glue. I actually thought it was hot glue till you showed me that. anyway, good to know but I still like the VCC lens.
