- Flexible Integration: Can be sewn onto textiles or soldered onto PCBs, allowing for versatile design options.
- Durable Design: The SMD format enhances durability compared to traditional through-hole LEDs.
Wiring and Connections:
- Anode (+): The longer lead or pad is the positive connection, which connects to the positive voltage supply.
- Cathode (-): The shorter lead or pad is the negative connection, which connects to ground.
- Integration: Easily connected to Lilypad boards or other microcontrollers using appropriate current-limiting resistors to prevent damage.
Power Requirements:
- Forward Voltage: Optimal performance is achieved between 3.0V and 3.5V.
- Current: Ideally requires around 20mA for maximum brightness, though it can be dimmed by reducing current.
Input and Output:
- Input: Connects to a positive voltage supply through a current-limiting resistor.
- Output: Emits bright white light when powered on, with brightness determined by the voltage and current supplied.
Applications:
- Wearable Technology: Perfect for clothing, accessories, and other wearable projects, adding interactive lighting.
- E-Textiles: Can be sewn into fabrics for artistic designs and functional elements.
- DIY Craft Projects: Great for projects that require bright lighting or indicators.
- Decorative Lighting: Useful for creating accent lighting in small spaces or art installations.
How to Use:
- Preparation: Ensure your fabric or PCB is ready for the LED. For textile applications, use conductive thread.
- Sewing the LED: For textiles, carefully sew the LED onto the fabric, ensuring the correct orientation of the anode and cathode.
- Wiring: Connect the LED’s anode to a positive supply (using a current-limiting resistor) and the cathode to ground.
- Microcontroller Integration: If using with a Lilypad or other microcontroller, write a program to control the LED as desired.
- Power Up: Once connected, power your circuit to illuminate the LED in bright white.
