Typical SMD LED Types (SMD3528, SMD5050)

You may have heard a lot about some SMD LEDs, like SMD0603, SMD0805, SMD1210, SMD3528, SMD5050 etc. But do you know what meaning these figures represent? In fact, these figures refer to the size of the SMD LEDs. For example, 0603 refers to the length of this LED is 0.06 inches, & the width is 0.03 inches. But it needs to be pointed out that 3528 & 5050 is applied to metric units. The following is a detailed description of these specifications:

0603: changed to metric is 1608, that means the length of this LED is: 1.6mm, & the width is: 0.8mm. Name for metric units: SMD1608; name for English units: SMD0603.



0805: changed to metric is 2012, that means the length this LED is: 2.0mm, and the width is: 1.2mm. Name for metric units: SMD2012; name for  English units: SMD0805.

1210: changed to metric is 3528, that means the length this LED is: 3.5mm, and the width is: 2.8mm. Name for metric units: SMD3528; name for  English units: SMD1210.

3528: Name for metric unites, means that the length of this LED is 3.5mm, width 2.8mm.

5050: Name for metric unites, means that the length of this LED is 5.0mm, width 5.0mm.
