Kitronik Tricolour LED Board

The Kitronik Tri - Colour LED board is a pre - built strip board ideal for low - power lighting displays like edge - lit signs and illustrations. It's designed to draw power within a computer USB port's supply rating (under 100mA). The board features 15 LEDs: 5 green, 5 blue, and 5 red arranged in three colour rows. This setup enables edge - lit designs with three separately lit acrylic sign parts, perfect for creative projects. Measuring about 75mm long and 17mm wide, the PCB comes with a pair of M3 mounting holes and alignment holes for 3mm acrylic. There's a side - mounted switch to turn the LEDs on or off, and you can connect an additional switch in parallel for remote control. Power is supplied via a Micro USB connector, and non - USB power can be used through 5V and 0V pads. Note that voltages over 5.5V may damage the board. You can wire one switch to control multiple boards, but beware that voltages over 5V can cause permanent damage. Features include enhancing edge - lit signs and displays, being USB - power friendly, and having mounting and remote - control options. The package includes 1 Kitronik Tri - Colour LED board with dimensions of 75mm in length, 17mm in width, and a max height of 7mm.

Using the Kitronik Tri - Colour LED board is easy. First, you can power it through the Micro USB connector. If you want to use a non - USB power source, connect it to the 5V and 0V pads. But remember, don't use voltages over 5.5V as it can damage the board. To turn the LEDs on and off, you can use the side - mounted switch on the board. If you want to control it from a distance, connect a remote switch in parallel. When using a remote switch, set the board - mounted switch to 'Off' and wire the remote switch across the +5V and Switched Voltage pads. You can even use one remote switch to control multiple boards at once. Just make sure the voltage doesn't go over 5V to avoid permanent damage. For mounting, use the M3 mounting holes and alignment holes to align 3mm acrylic with the LEDs. As for maintenance, keep the board clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If there are any issues, check the power connections and switches first.
