Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) technology with its inherent flexibility can be utilized very effectively in unique display formats for specific customer applications. VFD is the preferred medium in many consumer product display applications and customization allows the display to be targeted to specific applications and/or markets by using instantly recognizable icons or images.
Cost savings are inherent in a custom design because the user does not specify and therefore does not pay for display functions they will not use.
The following criteria need consideration when designing your VFD.

1. Package Size, Display Area and Viewing Angle

2. Position and Dimension of Evacuation Tube

3. Standard Dimensions of Lead Pins

4. Pattern Designing

5. Outer Dimensions in Glass Package
The following table shows the standard packages size, suitable and efficient for the automated assembly process.
