Sparkfun SMD LED - RGB APA102-2020 (Pack of 10)

The APA102-2020, also known as the "DotStar", is a remarkably compact, 8-pin, 2020-sized (2x2mm) SMD LED. This incredibly bright and colorful LED comes with an integrated control circuit. If you observe closely, you can spot the minute gold chip and the minuscule gold wires that connect the chip to the LED. This product is a scaled-down version of the APA102C LEDs found in Sparkfun's Lumenati line, making it an ideal choice for projects that require a splash of color but have limited space.The APA102-2020 strip contains ten LEDs. Each LED comprises three smaller LEDs, hence the RGB (Red/Green/Blue) classification. It's crucial to remember the minute size of these LEDs, making them challenging to solder. Therefore, it's recommended to have proficient SMD soldering skills before using the APA102-2020.Features of the APA102-2020 include:

* Red: (619--626nm) @ 300--330mcd * Green: (520--535nm) @ 420--460mcd * Blue: (465--467nm) @ 160--180mcd * An 8-pin design The APA102-2020 is perfect for a variety of applications. Whether you're creating a colorful display, adding an eye-catching component to a wearable device, or simply experimenting with different color combinations, these LEDs offer an excellent solution. Their compact size allows them to fit into tight spaces, making them a versatile option for various projects.With their integrated control circuit, these LEDs are not just small, but also powerful. The minuscule gold chip and gold wires ensure a reliable connection, delivering bright and vibrant colors. The APA102-2020 is an impressive demonstration of how size doesn't compromise quality or performance.For more detailed information, please refer to the datasheet.
