The APA-104-1010 is a tiny addressable RGB SMD LED for designs where full-colour control needs to fit into very little board space. Each LED uses a standard one-wire data interface with data in and data out connections.
At just 1.0 x 1.0mm square, these microscopic LEDs are suited to dense layouts, wearables, miniature indicators and other compact lighting projects. They work well with the FastLED library and are compatible with other NeoPixel-compatible products.
This pack is supplied as a strip of 20 pieces, sealed with desiccant and a humidity indicator so the LEDs are ready for reflow. Documentation available from the supplier includes the APA-104-1010 datasheet, an example KiCad layout and example code.
Features:
- Addressable RGB: individually controllable colour LEDs
- One-wire interface: standard DI/DO data connection
- Library support: works great with the FastLED library
- NeoPixel compatibility: compatible with other NeoPixel-compatible products
- Reflow ready: supplied sealed with desiccant and a humidity indicator
Specifications:
- Model: APA-104-1010
- LED type: Addressable RGB SMD LED
- Interface: Standard one-wire (DI/DO) interface
- LED size: 1.0 x 1.0mm square
- Pack quantity: 20 pcs
- Supplied format: Strip of 20 pcs
- Packaging: Sealed with desiccant and a humidity indicator
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- 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.
- 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.
- SMD
- SMD means surface-mount device, a component style designed to be soldered directly onto the surface of a circuit board rather than through holes. SMD parts are compact and mounted flat on the board, which suits smaller and mass-produced designs.
