5050 SMD LED Demo

Individual 5050s are great for some of your DIY projects. but are somewhat difficult to find as single units. They are most commonly found soldered onto light strips, but here's some info for these white 5050s as individual LEDs. The 5050 SMD (Surface Mount Device) also known as SMT (Surface Mount Technology) LED is called that because of its dimensions (5.0 x 5.0 mm). They operate at 60mA, 3V (60 mA if the three internal LEDs are connected in parallel, or 20mA if connected in series).
