Component

addressable RGB LEDWS2812 protocol5050 packagesingle-wire control

WS2812B-V6 is a 4-pin, individually addressable RGB LED with an integrated controller and signal reshaper in a 5050 package.

Best for

  • Individually addressable decorative lighting
  • RGB indicators and compact lighting effects
  • Cascaded LED pixel assemblies

Avoid if

  • A standard non-addressable LED is required
  • The design cannot support the specified single-wire timing protocol

Check before use

  • Confirm controller output timing and logic-level compatibility
  • Confirm the 5.0 mm package footprint and pin orientation
  • Check MSL 5a handling and reflow limits
