3mm RGB LED?
« on: August 12, 2016, 10:55:21 AM »
Has anyone come across a 3mm RGB LED that is color mixable? I see 5mm ones all day long, but not finding 3mm. Maybe it's just too small to get 4 conductors out of a 3mm LED. The only ones I'm finding are auto color scrollers with only 2 conductors.

Oh, I'm looking for through hole LED not SMDs though I might have to revisit that idea.


Thanks if you have any ideas!

I was looking into this as well. They exist though your right they are hard to find. All the 3mm RGB LED I have seen have a rectangle base with a round domed, or flat top. If your Ok with that you'll want to search for keyboard RGB LEDs.
