LED panel holders and clips for 3 mm and 5 mm LEDs: mounting hole and panel thickness (VCC, Dialight, Bivar) + hole gauge — dimension sheet Source: Xem Studio, https://xemstudio.com/objects/led-panel-holders-clips-3mm-5mm/ (sheet CC BY 4.0) Basis: VCC CLIPLITE, Dialight 515 and 559, Bivar CR-175 / C-105-SR (distributor listings) and one retailer panel clip, as read; one hole gauge plate as a file Catalog version: 2026-10-20 Overall (mm): length 37.4, width 16.7, height 3.0 - Panel LED clips (snap-in rings) and CLIPLITE lens mounts hold a T-1 (3 mm) or T-1 3/4 (5 mm) flanged LED. The hole is the clip body's hole, not the LED's own diameter: VCC prints .171 in (4.34 mm) for 3 mm LEDs and .250 in (6.35 mm) for 5 mm LEDs; Dialight prints 6.73 mm (.265 in) for its 515 snap-in clips and .250 in (6.32 to 6.40 mm) for the 559 indicator. The page panel-cutouts uses the LED body (Ø3.0 and Ø5.0) for a press fit; that is a different design, not a clip hole. - Panel thickness: VCC 1/32 to 1/4 in by model (spacer SPC 125 under 3/16 in); Dialight 559 .031 to .062 in; Dialight 515 up to 2.78 mm; Bivar CR-175 .04 to .125 in and C-105-SR .04 to .054 in. Bivar's pages list the clip O.D. (.312 and .295 in) but the pages read do not print the panel hole. The H-502 retailer listing prints a 6 mm hole and 2.8 mm panel; it differs from Dialight's 6.73 mm and is shown for completeness, not as a maker figure. - Bezels (chrome / plastic full-bezel indicator rings) are not tabulated: no sheet read printed their hole. 3 mm: only VCC printed a hole for the 3 mm size. - File: led-clip-hole-gauge, a plate with the three published round holes (4.34, 6.35, 6.73 mm) at true size. Plate thickness and spacing are Xem's choices.
