About EVERBRITE SMD LED 5050
SMD LED" stands for "Surface Mount Device Light Emitting Diode." These are LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) that are designed to be mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) or other substrate. Unlike through-hole LEDs, which have leads that are inserted into holes on the PCB and soldered on the other side, SMD LEDs have flat contacts that can be soldered directly onto the PCB surface.
SMD LEDs come in various sizes and shapes, such as 3528, 5050, and 2835, with the numbers denoting their dimensions in metric units (in this case, 3.5mm x 2.8mm, 5.0mm x 5.0mm, and 2.8mm x 3.5mm, respectively). They are widely used in many applications including backlighting for LCD displays, indicator lights, automotive lighting, decorative lighting, and general illumination.
SMD LEDs offer advantages such as smaller size, easier automated assembly (especially with pick-and-place machines), and the ability to create thinner devices compared to through-hole LEDs. They are commonly used in modern electronics due to their versatility and efficiency.
