Description / 0402 SMD Yellow / Gold - Ultra Bright LED
The 0402 Yellow SMD LED measures just 1.0 × 0.5mm (metric 1005) — the smallest surface-mount LED we carry. At this size, it disappears inside scale models and is barely visible on a PCB — but the output is strong enough to read as a clear indicator. Yellow is the classic turn signal and caution indicator color — matches automotive and vintage equipment lighting closely.
| Package | 0402 (1005 metric) — SMD surface mount |
| Forward Voltage | 1.8-2.2v |
| Brightness | 150mcd |
| Viewing Angle | 120 Degrees |
| Lens | Clear |
| Drive Current | 20mA typical |
At 1.0 × 0.5mm, these are at the limit of hand-soldering. Use flux paste, a fine-tip iron, and tweezers — or solder paste with reflow for volume work.
Common uses:
- Scale modeling and dioramas — 1:72 military aircraft navigation lights, 1:35 armor vehicle headlights, Warhammer 40K cockpit instruments and eye lenses, Gundam mono-eye mods
- Book nooks and shadow boxes — streetlights, window glow, and sign illumination at miniature scale (r/booknooks)
- Consumer electronics repair — indicator LED replacement in iPhones, Galaxy phones, AirPods cases, laptop camera indicators, smartwatch status LEDs (r/microsoldering)
- N scale and Z scale model railroad — DCC decoder lighting, locomotive headlights, structure interiors where 1.8mm is too large
- Custom PCB design — DEF CON badges, SAO (Simple Add-On) boards, and compact hobby PCBs where board space is critical
Also available: 0603 (larger)
Sold individually (1 LED per quantity ordered).
