A compact single-NeoPixel breakout board with mounting holes and pluggable JST SH connectors, perfect for adding individually addressable RGB lighting to small projects. The PCB measures less than 13 × 13 mm and works with both 3.3V and 5V power.
Two 3-pin JST SH (1 mm pitch) connectors allow easy daisy-chaining — plug in on one side and pass the signal out the other. The M2 mounting holes provide secure attachment to enclosures, models, or fabric backings.
Key Features
- Classic 5050 RGB NeoPixel – Full-colour individually addressable LED in a 5 mm square package
- JST SH Connectors – Input and output 3-pin JST SH (1 mm pitch) for tool-free wiring and daisy-chaining
- 3.3V/5V Compatible – Works with both voltage levels for broad microcontroller compatibility
- Compact PCB – Less than 13 × 13 mm with two M2 mounting holes
- Chainable Design – Connect multiple breakouts in series using standard JST SH cables
Ideal For
- Status indicators on custom PCBs or enclosures
- Small models, props, and cosplay lighting
- Wearable electronics with sewable mounting
- Prototyping NeoPixel projects before committing to larger strips

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- Individually addressable LED
- An LED in a strip or board that can be controlled separately from the others, instead of all LEDs showing the same colour at once. This matters for animations, status displays, and classroom projects where you want each light to represent different information.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- NeoPixel
- A type of addressable LED system where colour data is sent along a single digital data line from one LED or controller to the next. Compatibility matters because the timing and signal format must match for the lights or driver board to respond correctly.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
