Adafruit NeoPixel Mini PCB - 5 Pack
Overview
The Adafruit 1612 is a pack of five miniature round PCBs, each featuring a pre-soldered WS2812B addressable RGB LED. These breakout boards are designed to make high-density LED integration easier by providing accessible solder pads for power and data daisy-chaining. They allow for flexible placement of individual smart pixels in space-constrained projects where a standard LED strip is too rigid or bulky.
Why Choose This Part
The pre-soldered 5050 NeoPixel on a 10mm diameter PCB eliminates the difficulty of hand-soldering surface-mount LEDs. These boards include integrated decoupling capacitors to ensure power stability across long chains and provide clearly labeled pads for Data In and Data Out.
Applications
Getting Started
Connect 5V DC power and ground to the designated pads, then interface the Data Input pin to a microcontroller like an Arduino or ESP32. Use the Adafruit_NeoPixel library or FastLED library to control color and brightness. Multiple units can be chained by connecting the Data Out of one board to the Data In of the next.
