# NeoPixel Reverse Mount RGB LEDs - 10 Pack of SK6812-E

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ADA4960 · **Brand:** [Adafruit](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/adafruit-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/neopixel-reverse-mount-rgb-leds-10-pack-of-sk6812-e.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/neopixel-reverse-mount-rgb-leds-10-pack-of-sk6812-e.html.md))

These reverse mount NeoPixel LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of small (but bright!) colorful LEDs to your project when you want the top of the PCB to be flat, or to keep manufacturing simplified by having only one side of components. They are just 3.1mm x 2.7mm x 1.7mm and can be soldered reverse mount-style using the top pads and a cutout in the PCB. Thanks to the long pads, they're not too bad to hand solder!

## Pricing

- **Price:** $5.90 (inc GST) — $5.36 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $5.20 (exc GST) · 50+ $5.09 (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=ADA4960:1` (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/ADA4960:1.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

These reverse mount NeoPixel LEDs are an easy way to add a lot of small (but bright!) colorful LEDs to your project when you want the top of the PCB to be flat, or to keep manufacturing simplified by having only one side of components. They are just 3.1mm x 2.7mm x 1.7mm and can be soldered reverse mount-style using the top pads and a cutout in the PCB. Thanks to the long pads, they're not too bad to hand solder!

The driver chip is inside the LED and has ~12mA constant current drive, so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage varies, and no external choke resistors are required making your design minimal. Power each one with 5VDC, and you're ready to rock.

There are three LEDs inside, red, green, and blue. The RGB LEDs are controlled by a tiny chip that takes a 24-bit color level via the clock and data in and then does all the PWM control for you. So you just 'set' the color data once. Like all NeoPixels, you can chain them together, the output of one leading into the input of another for near-infinitely long strips.

Adafruit have been using these in Adafruit's [NeoKey](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=neokey) boards, so that the LED shines through a cutout of the PCB - but there's many use cases for reverse mount LEDs. Note that a cutout is required and the body of the LED will nestle inside of the cutout. Comes in a package with 10 individual LEDs.

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 the Arduino UNO/Duemilanove/Diecimila, Flora/Micro/Leonardo, Trinket/Gemma, Arduino Due & Arduino Mega/ADK (all versions)
