What is the 1206 package size for SMD LED diodes?

Package Size: 1206 (3.2mm × 1.6mm) — easy to handle and solder by hand or machine
Quantity: 3,000 pieces per reel — bulk supply for professional and hobbyist use
Colour Options: Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, White — select your preferred colour
Reel Format: Tape-and-reel packaging for tidy storage and automated placement
Wide Compatibility: Suitable for PCB assemblies, indicator lights, decorative lighting, Arduino/Raspberry Pi projects, and more
Consistent Quality: Uniform forward voltage and luminous intensity across the reel

The 1206 designation refers to the component's imperial dimensions of 0.12 inches × 0.06 inches (approximately 3.2mm × 1.6mm). This is one of the more common and easy-to-handle SMD LED sizes, making it well-suited for both hand soldering and automated pick-and-place assembly.

Can I use these 1206 SMD LEDs for Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects?

Yes! These 1206 SMD LED diodes are fully compatible with microcontroller-based projects including Arduino and Raspberry Pi setups. Simply solder them onto your custom PCB or breakout board and connect them through an appropriate current-limiting resistor.

Are all 3,000 LEDs on a single reel?

Yes, all 3,000 SMD LED diodes come on a single tape-and-reel, making it convenient for both manual and automated SMD soldering and placement processes. The reel format also helps keep the components untangled and protected during storage.

Can I order multiple colours?

Yes! Each reel listing allows you to select your preferred colour — Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, or White. If you need multiple colours, simply add separate reels to your cart.
