SMT RGB 5050 LED - 10 pack [discontinued]

These surface-mount LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of colorful dots to your project. They're similar to the ones in our analog RGB LED strip, same size and shape. They are half a centimeter on a side, which makes them small but not so small that they are impossible to hand solder. There are three LEDs inside, red green and blue and because they are so close together, they mix very nicely, without the need for a diffuser. The LED is also insanely bright, at an eyeball-blistering 2000mcd.

Comes in a strip of 10 pieces. If you order more than one strip, it will come as multiple strips of 10, not one long strip.

Please note this is a surface mount part! It is possible to solder thin wires to the pads but it's designed for use on a SMT PCB. If you are not comfortable with hand soldering SMT parts, check out our other RGB LEDs such as the thru-hole ones or in pixels/strips.

Please Note:

• As of August 18, 2019 we've changed the part number to a more consistent supplier. The pinout has changed so please check the technical specifications/datasheet/diagram for the new pinout information
