OPSCO SK6808SIDE-A SMD Side-View RGB LED with Built-in IC – 4x2x1.6mm Addressable Full-Color Dream Color LED Chip, WS2812/SK6812 Compatible

The OPSCO SK6808SIDE-A is a revolutionary side-emitting SMD RGB LED that integrates a high-performance control IC directly into a compact 4.0×2.0×1.6mm package. Designed for seamless cascading, it uses a single-wire zero-code protocol (fully compatible with WS2812/SK6812 timing), allowing you to drive hundreds of LEDs with just one MCU pin.

Each LED delivers 256-level grayscale per channel and a 4kHz PWM refresh rate, ensuring flicker-free, vibrant color mixing for stunning “dream color” effects. With a wide 120° viewing angle and optimized optical design, it’s perfect for edge-lit applications, light strips, keyboard backlighting, and architectural accents. Operating at 3.7–5.5V with low static current (0.5mA), it supports stable long-distance transmission and ESD protection up to 2000V. Whether you're building smart lighting, DIY projects, or commercial displays, the SK6808SIDE-A combines miniaturization, reliability, and brilliant color performance in one easy-to-use package.



  1. Side-Emitting & Ultra-Compact: 4.0×2.0×1.6mm SMD package with 120° side-view beam angle, ideal for edge lighting, narrow light strips, and space-constrained designs.

  2. Built-in IC & Single-Wire Control: Integrated driver IC with one-data-line interface, fully compatible with WS2812/SK6812 timing—no external controller needed.

  3. Vibrant Full-Color & High PWM: 256-level grayscale per R/G/B channel and ~4kHz PWM frequency for smooth, flicker-free color transitions and true “dream color” effects.

  4. Cascadable & Stable Transmission: DIN→DOUT cascade supports 1024+ pixels at 30fps; 800Kbps data rate with reset code for reliable long-chain operation.

  5. Low Power & Robust Design: Operates at 3.7–5.5V with only 0.5mA static current; 2000V ESD protection and -40°C to +85°C operating range for industrial durability.
