Re: [ModularSynthPanels] Mouser led misery

2007-10-11 by Richard Brewster

6.3mm = 0.25 inches.  I use this hole size for all 5mm LEDs.  I mount 
them with a plastic bezel that I get from Radioshack #276-079.

I like this idea, but the Radioshack part is crappy.  Scott, what is the 
Mouser part for the bezel you use?
