Adafruit NeoPixel LED Strip with 3-pin JST Connector - 60 LED/meter / 0.5 Meter

A plug-and-play NeoPixel strip with a JST PH 3-pin connector for instant connection to STEMMA-compatible boards. This compact 0.5-metre strip has 30 individually addressable RGB LEDs at 60 LED/m density, providing tighter pixel spacing in a shorter length. Also available as a 1-metre strip at 30 LED/m.

Uses SK6812 LEDs that work at 3–5V logic and power, with no inline resistor needed. Perfect for Hallowing, PyPortal, or any board with a 3-pin JST PH NeoPixel socket.

Key Features

• JST PH 3-Pin Connector – Plugs directly into STEMMA-compatible NeoPixel sockets for instant setup
• 30 RGB LEDs at 60 LED/m – Higher density on a 0.5-metre strip for smoother colour transitions
• 3–5V Compatible – SK6812 LEDs work at 3V logic and power, no inline resistor needed
• Colour-Coded Wires – 100 mm leads: red (power), green (signal), black (ground)
• Black Flex PCB – Blends into dark surfaces with high contrast when off
• Weatherproof Sheathing – Protective casing included
• Cuttable – Shorten the strip by cutting with wire cutters
• Single-Pin Control – Only one digital output pin required

Power Requirements

• Voltage – 3–5V DC (do not exceed 6V)
• Max Current – ~0.5A at full white (2.4W for the half metre)
• Typical Current – Colourful patterns draw well under 1/3 of maximum
• Can often be powered directly from your microcontroller board

Ideal For

• Hallowing and PyPortal projects
• Any board with a STEMMA 3-pin JST PH NeoPixel socket
• Compact projects requiring denser LED spacing
• Quick prototyping and wearables
