Five tiny multicolor LED sequins on small boards

Adafruit

Adafruit LED Sequins Multicolor 5 pack engineering development tool

SKU CH-8R3Y-64CAA

Five tiny single-colour LEDs in warm white, ruby red, royal blue, emerald green and rose pink, each on a 4 mm × 9 mm sequin board with a built-in resistor for direct 3–6 V connection

  • Product typePrototyping Products
  • Tiny 4 mm × 9 mm sequins fit tight wearable designs
  • Five distinct colours in one pack expand creative options
  • Simple two-pin power needs no digital controller
  • Direct 3.3 V drive draws about 5 mA per LED
  • Compatible with PWM fading on Gemma or Flora boards

Tiny LED sequins for wearable prototypes

These 4 mm by 9 mm LED sequins are designed for wearable electronics and e-textile projects. Each pack contains five single-colour LEDs in warm white, ruby red, royal blue, emerald green and rose pink. They require no digital control logic, making them simple to sew into fabric or solder onto flexible circuits. Power from 3.3 V draws about 5 mA per LED.

1206 package with matched resistor

Every sequin uses a 1206 size surface-mount LED paired with an onboard current-limiting resistor. Apply 3 to 6 VDC to the positive pad and ground to the negative pad to illuminate the LED. Brightness can be modulated using PWM outputs from a microcontroller such as Gemma or Flora, or the LED can be driven directly from a digital I/O pin. No addressable protocol or data line is required.

Suits beginners adding subtle light accents

Crafters and hobbyists who want a handful of tiny, ready-to-use indicator lights for costumes, jewellery or soft circuits will find this multicolour pack convenient. Builders needing individually addressable RGB pixels, high-brightness illumination or digital communication buses should look at programmable LED alternatives instead.

Questions about this item

How much current does each sequin draw when powered from 3.3 V?

Each sequin draws about 5 mA at 3.3 V, so you can run up to four or five in parallel from a single microcontroller pin.

What voltage range can I use to light these LEDs?

Connect 3 to 6 VDC to the + pin and ground to the − pin; the onboard resistor handles the rest.

How large is each sequin and will it fit on a dense wearable layout?

Each board measures 4 mm by 9 mm, using a 1206-size LED, making it small enough for tight sewable designs.
