Adafruit DotStar Micro LEDs (APA102–2020)- Smart SMD RGB LED - 100 pack

These incredibly small surface-mount LEDs offer a compact and vibrant way to add brilliant, colorful dots to your project. With a minuscule size of just 2mm x 2mm, they are perfect for projects where space is a premium. They're particularly smaller than the APA102-5050-RGB, featuring a design that may challenge hand soldering but excels with SMT techniques using solder paste and hot air.

Each LED encapsulates three colors: red, green, and blue, controlled by a tiny chip that accepts a 24-bit color level through clock and data inputs. It handles all the PWM control automatically, allowing you to set the color data once and forget. Like DotStars and NeoPixels, these LEDs are chainable, with the ability for one to lead to another, creating near-infinite LED strips.

Available in strips of 100 pieces or in a 10-pack, these LED components are intended for SMD PCBs. While possible, soldering thin wires to the pads is challenging without proper tools and experience. Enhance your projects with these stellar, chainable LEDs, perfect for detailed, space-conscious designs.
