Abstract
A combination standoff and LED includes a surface mount solder standoff which can be either threaded or unthreaded, and a surface mount LED disposed and fixed in the center of the base of the standoff. The combination standoff and LED is adapted to receive a lightpipe via the either threaded or unthreaded portion of the surface mount solder standoff. This combination standoff and LED results in a single piece of hardware which simplifies the physical PCBA layout design and removes any Computer Aided Design (CAD) placement errors that would normally be present if two separate hardware components were placed together manually.
