Miniature Wired LEDs - 0805 SMT LED - Pure Green - 5 pack

These super-fine wired LEDs are a dream for model-makers and crafters. They're also perfect for those who want to add small light points to a design without SMT soldering skills. With this five-pack of Miniature Wired 0805 LEDs, wiring becomes a breeze. Measuring just 2mm x 1.25mm, they can be easily embedded in any structure, costume, or wearable. The wires are about 30cm long and made of 30AWG wire wrap wire. You can sew over them or embed them in a casing. Since they're single-strand wire-wrap, they'll hold their shape and can pass through small spaces. There are no series resistors in the strand. If you use another supply, you'll need to calculate and solder in a resistor. Like most pure LEDs, they have a forward voltage of about 3.2V and a current limit of about 20mA. Follow our guide for control tips. Red is positive and blue is negative. Note: These LEDs are very delicate as there's no strain relief at the solder joint. When bending the wire, hold the LED by the wires to avoid stress on the solder point.

Using these LEDs is simple. First, decide where you want to place them in your model, costume, or other project. Since they're very small, they can fit almost anywhere. The long 30cm wires give you plenty of flexibility. You can sew the wires over your project or embed them in a casing. If you're using a power supply other than the standard one, you'll need to calculate and solder a resistor. Remember, red is the positive wire and blue is the negative one. When handling the LEDs, be extra careful. They're very delicate because there's no strain relief at the solder joint. To avoid damaging them, always hold the LED by the wires when bending them. For maintenance, keep them away from moisture and excessive heat. If you're not using them for a while, store them in a dry place. And always follow the current limit of about 20mA and the forward voltage of about 3.2V to keep them working well.
