Description / 0603 SMD UV / Purple - Ultra Bright LED
The 0603 UV Purple SMD LED (1.6 × 0.8mm, metric 1608) is the most widely used SMD indicator size in both hobbyist and production PCB work — small enough for tight layouts, large enough to hand-solder reliably with flux and a fine-tip iron. UV/Purple output creates blacklight effects — used in art, cosplay props, escape room builds, and decorative accent lighting.
| Package | 0603 (1608 metric) — SMD surface mount |
| Forward Voltage | 3.0-3.6v |
| Brightness | 25mcd |
| Viewing Angle | 120 Degrees |
| Lens | Clear |
| Drive Current | 20mA typical |
Hand-solderable with a fine-tip iron and flux paste. Easier than 0402, still small enough for tight decoder and PCB layouts.
Common uses:
- Gaming console repair — Xbox 360/One, PS3/PS4, Wii, and Game Boy indicator LED replacement (iFixit community)
- Guitar pedal builds — Boss 2017+ models and modern stompbox PCBs use 0603 indicator LEDs (Freestompboxes, PedalPCB)
- Mechanical keyboard backlight repair — per-key indicator LEDs on custom PCBs (r/MechanicalKeyboards, Geekhack)
- N scale and HO scale DCC decoder lighting — headlights, interior lights, and function outputs
- Custom PCB indicators for ESP32/RP2040 projects, breakout boards, and open-source hardware designs
Also available: 0402 (smaller) · 0805 (larger)
Sold individually (1 LED per quantity ordered).
