5MM LED Holder for PCB

thingiverse

This is a compact 5mm LED 90-degree holder designed specifically for mounting on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Simply push the LED into the socket and bend its leads at a precise 90-degree angle to secure it in place. For optimal placement, the holder can be easily inverted to adjust the height of the LED off the PCB as needed. This design was printed with 100% infill and no supports using a raft setup (4 units printed simultaneously) due to its tiny size, requiring additional vertical support during printing. Printing this component in ABS material at 100% infill with no supports on my FlashForge Creator Pro presented no challenges. However, users may need to carefully clean out the LED socket and lead holes in the back of the socket, as they can be slightly tight to accommodate the LED's leads while bending them over for secure mounting. This design aims to provide a helpful solution for individuals who create and manufacture PCBs for various projects.
