# Adafruit NeoPixel LED Strip with 3-pin JST Connector - 1 meter - 30 LEDs / meter

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA4801 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-neopixel-led-strip-with-3-pin-jst-connector-1-meter-30-leds-meter.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-neopixel-led-strip-with-3-pin-jst-connector-1-meter-30-leds-meter.html.md))

Plug in and glow, this Adafruit NeoPixel LED Strip with JST PH Connector has 30 total LEDs and is 1 meter long, in classy Adafruit Black. It's not too long but has lots of glowing action. Perfect for use with a Hallowing, PyPortal, BrainCraft HAT or any other existing or custom design with a "STEMMA" 3-pin JST PH socket.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $27.45 (inc GST) — $24.95 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $24.21 (exc GST) · 50+ $23.71 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Out of stock — the product page offers email notification when it returns.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4801:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4801:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Plug in and glow, this **Adafruit NeoPixel LED Strip with JST PH Connector** has **30 total LEDs** and is 1 meter long, in classy Adafruit Black. It's not too long but has lots of glowing action.[ Perfect for use with a Hallowing](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-hallowing-m0-express.html), [PyPortal](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=pyportal), [BrainCraft HAT](https://core-electronics.com.au/machine-learning-braincraft-hat-for-raspberry-pi-4.html) or [any other existing or custom design with a "STEMMA" 3-pin JST PH socket](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=stemma+3+pin).

The strips come in a 1-meter reel with three 30cm long wires connected to a **JST PH 3-pin plug**. The other end is sealed. The wires are even nicely color-coded: black for ground, green for signal, red for 3-5VDC power. Adafruit use SK6812 LEDs on these strips so you don't need an inline resistor and they work down to 3V logic+power.

NeoPixels are addressable LEDs. That means, there are 30 RGB LEDs per meter and the strip is a full meter long so you get 30 individually-controlled RGB LEDs! You can set the color of each LED's red, green and blue component with 8-bit PWM precision (so 24-bit color per pixel). The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten the strip if you like by cutting it. Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip, and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you

The strip is made of flexible PCB material, and comes in a weatherproof sheathing. You can cut this stuff pretty easily with wire cutters. Of course, you can also connect strips together to make them longer, just watch how much current you need! [Adafruit have a 5V/2A supply that is able to drive this strip](https://core-electronics.com.au/5v-dc-2a-fixed-2-1mm-tip-appliance-plugpack.html) but chances are you will power these short strips direct from your microcontroller board. You must use a 3-5V DC power supply to power these strips, do not use higher than 6V or you can destroy the entire strip– yikes!

These LEDs use about 4.8 Watts max (~1 Amps @ 5V) per meter. The max rating is assuming all the LEDs are on full white, usually the actual current for colorful design is less than 1/3 of the max current. A good power supply is key!

Adafruit's detailed NeoPixel Uberguide has everything you need to use NeoPixels in any shape and size. Including ready-to-go library & example code for Arduino compatibles. You can also use these strips with MakeCode or CircuitPython using the NeoPixel software support.
