WS2812B Addressable RGB LED – 20 pcs

WS2812B

is a popular type of addressable RGB LED used in a wide range of lighting products and projects. Its main specifications are outlined below:

• Integrated controller: Each WS2812B has an integrated control circuit, enabling individual control of each LED through serial communication.

• Individual addressing: These LEDs are fully addressable, meaning each LED can be set to a different colour. This makes it possible to create a wide variety of effects and animations.

• RGB colour channels: Each LED has three colour channels—red (R), green (G) and blue (B)—that can be controlled independently.

• Supply voltage: From 3.5 V to 5.3 V.

• Maximum current: Typical maximum current is approximately 20 mA per colour channel (R, G and B), or approximately 60 mA per LED when all three channels are fully on.

• Communication: WS2812B LEDs use serial communication. Each LED receives data and forwards the remaining data to the next LED.

• Dimensions: WS2812B LEDs are compact, measuring approximately 5 × 5 mm.

• Lighting effects: These LEDs are popular for creating lighting effects and animations such as colour transitions, flashing and pulsing.

• Microcontroller compatibility: They require a microcontroller capable of generating the appropriate serial signal, such as an Atmel-based board, Raspberry Pi or ESP12/32.

• Availability: WS2812B LEDs are widely available as individual components, strips and circular modules.
