When using through hole LEDs it can be hard to form the eyelets and then work out which leg is positive and negative. That's where these Sewable LED Holders come in! The 5mm LED holder boards, quickly and easily take any through hole 5mm LED and (after soldering in place) make them easy to use in any e-textiles project.
Just slide the chosen LED through the holes in the middle of the board, matching the flat side of the LED to the outline on the PCB. Solder the LED into place, snip the excess length from the LED legs and you have just converted a through hole LED into an easy sewable LED board!
The PCBs are double sided making the thread connection very reliable, and are supplied on a panel of 10 and can be easily separated by snapping them out.
Features:
- Slot for a compatible LED.
- Sewable, double-sided PCB.
Contents:
- 1 x Electro-Fashion, Sewable 5mm LED Holder, pack of 10.
Dimensions (per Sewable LED Holder):
- PCB Length: 18mm.
- PCB Width: 8mm.
- PCB Height: 1mm.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- e-textiles
- Electronic textiles are fabrics or clothing that include electrical parts such as conductive thread, sensors, LEDs, or small controllers. This matters because parts for e-textiles need to survive bending, sewing, and sometimes washing.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- Thread
- A low-power wireless mesh networking standard designed for smart home and IoT devices. It matters because Thread devices can relay messages through each other, helping build reliable networks for sensors and controllers.
