If 3 mm LEDs are too large for your application, consider using the 2 mm THT LED Kingbright L-13 series. Versatile LEDs suitable for general use in most applications, in three primary colours—green, yellow, and red, are all part of our selection. (reading for 2 minutes)
Do you know what is allowed or rather forbidden when working with and assembling LED components? Avoid basic mistakes and increase the reliability, and longevity of your device and also save your time and overall equipment costs. (reading for 8 minutes)
SMT, THT, super thin, high brightness, reverse, transparent, milky and many other LEDs. Here are some basic tricks to help you find your way around the wide range of LEDs easily and quickly.
Kingbright KPTR series, suitable for reverse mounting, makes it possible to achieve that the LED is hidden in the PCB.
Only 0.5 mm thick (or thin) SMD LED Kingbright KPHCM-2012 can be placed practically everywhere, without increasing an overall PCB thickness.
New Kingbright UV LEDs are suitable for this and many other applications. Even though it may seem that they do not glow at all at first sight, they are the genuine UV light sources.
SMD LED with lens concentrate the light into a smaller space, that´s why they´re more suitable for some applications than common LEDs.
Probably the world´s smallest SMT LED with a package size of 0.6x0.3x0.2 mm is so small that it can be used to create various symbols, pictograms and displays.
All necessary can be usually found in datasheets. However if you choose a LED for a bigger project, it´s often better to check it twice ...
One example for all - we compared super bright red LED Kingbright SR-J4 with a standard type of the same producer.
20mA or 2mA? Yes, this can significantly influence an overall power consumption of a device or a hold-off when operated from batteries.
Don´t let yourself get confused by miniature dimensions - small SMT LEDs produce surprisingly strong light.
