Professional Indicators: 3mm & 5mm LED with Metal Holder
Enhance your control panels and project enclosures with our LED with Metal Holder series. These high-visibility light-emitting diodes come pre-fitted with a rugged, chrome-finished metal housing, providing a professional "panel-mount" look and added physical protection for the LED. Available in both 3mm and 5mm sizes across a full spectrum of colors, these indicators are the industry standard for clear, reliable status signaling.
Key Performance Features:
-
Durable Metal Construction: The high-quality metal holder ensures a secure fit and protects the LED from impact and environmental wear.
-
Precision Panel Mounting: Designed to fit standard drill holes, these holders feature a threaded body and securing nut for a flush, professional finish.
-
Wide Color Selection: Available in Red, Yellow, Green, Orange, and Blue to suit any signaling requirement.
-
Two Standard Sizes: Choose the compact 3mm version for space-limited designs or the high-visibility 5mm version for clear status indication from a distance.
-
Long Lifespan: Built with high-efficiency LED technology for thousands of hours of consistent, low-power operation.
Why Choose Our LED Metal Holders?
Unlike standard plastic clips, our metal holders offer a premium aesthetic and superior heat dissipation. They are ideal for industrial machinery, automotive dashboards, home automation panels, and custom audio equipment. The secure mounting mechanism prevents the LED from being pushed back into the enclosure, ensuring your indicators stay exactly where you need them.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns þ
-
Do I need a resistor for these LEDs?
-
Yes, unless you are using a specific pre-regulated voltage source, a current-limiting resistor is required to prevent the LED from burning out.
-
-
What size hole do I need to drill?
-
The 3mm holder typically requires a slightly larger hole (approx. 6mm) and the 5mm holder requires approx. 8mm. Check your specific holder measurements for precision.
-
-
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
-
The metal holder is highly durable; however, for full outdoor exposure, ensure the rear of the panel is sealed to prevent moisture from reaching the electrical pins.
