- Universal Fit – Works with any standard 5 mm LED with two legs (including LEDs with a base lip)
- Simple to Use – Insert, bend, and solder
Ideal For
- Panel-mount and enclosure projects with side-facing indicators
- Clean LED placement on custom PCBs

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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.
