1515 Addressable RGB SMD LED A 5V addressable SMD LED with an integrated driver IC (compatible with WS2812/SK6812 single-wire serial protocols). Each LED supports individually programmable full-color addressing and cascade control, for light strips, ambient lights and pixel matrices. Supplied directly by Dongguan Hongcheng Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. (an international member of Guangyu Group, with over 20 years of LED packaging experience). Uses A-grade chips and 99.99% pure gold wire bonding, with RoHS certification. Free samples and custom IC protocols, pin configurations and refresh rates are available. Download the datasheet PDF on this page for complete electrical specifications and mounting dimensions.
Q: What are the chromaticity BIN ranges for addressable LEDs?
A: The full-color series is shipped with brightness and color binning based on CIE chromaticity coordinates. Color difference within the same batch is Δu'v'≤0.003. Custom BIN ranges are available to meet customer color-gamut requirements.
Q: What placement-machine accuracy does this LED require?
A: This 1515 package (1.5×1.5mm) can be reliably placed using a standard high-speed placement machine (±0.1mm class). It has an integrated IC and multiple pads. Stencil apertures must align individually with the pads; visual inspection or AOI after placement is recommended to verify solder-joint quality. Lead-free reflow soldering is supported (peak ≤260℃/≤3s).
