Operating at 5 V with only 5 mA per channel, it is energy-efficient and generates minimal heat—ideal for smart home décor, ultra-thin light strips, signage, and consumer electronics. The built-in power-on reset ensures a clean startup, while the side-view lens provides uniform, wide-angle illumination. Whether you are designing ambient lighting, gaming peripherals, or architectural accents, the SK6805SIDE-G offers unmatched reliability, easy MCU control, and stunning visual performance in a micro footprint.
Ultra-Compact 3512 Side-Emitting Package – Measures just 3.5×1.25×1.55 mm, perfect for narrow-edge, backlight, and space-limited designs where traditional top-view LEDs cannot fit.
Built-in Smart IC with Single-Wire Control – Integrated driver supports WS2812/SK6812-compatible one-wire protocol; only one MCU GPIO pin is needed to control hundreds of LEDs.
Vivid 24-Bit Full-Color & 256-Level Grayscale – Each RGB channel offers 256-step dimming with ~1 kHz PWM, producing smooth, flicker-free dream-color gradients and dynamic lighting effects.
Low-Power 5 mA per Channel & Cool Operation – Optimized for energy efficiency, reducing heat and power consumption compared to 12 mA class LEDs—ideal for battery-powered and heat-sensitive devices.
High Cascade Capability & Strong ESD Protection – Supports over 1024 daisy-chained pixels with internal reshaping; HBM 2 kV ESD protection ensures long-term reliability in commercial and consumer applications.
