Description / 0805 SMD Cool / Clear White - Ultra Bright LED

The 0805 Cool White SMD LED (2.0 × 1.25mm, metric 2012) is the most hobbyist-friendly SMD size — large enough to comfortably hand-solder with a standard fine-tip iron, small enough to fit on any modern PCB layout. The sweet spot between easy handling and compact footprint.

The most hobbyist-friendly SMD size — large enough to hand-solder comfortably with a standard fine-tip iron.

Common uses:

  • Mechanical keyboard backlight and per-key indicator repair — the most common indicator LED size in custom keyboard PCBs (r/MechanicalKeyboards)
  • Gaming controller repair — Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch controller indicator LEDs
  • Scale modeling and dioramas — excellent for HO and larger scale builds, cosplay wearable electronics, and prop lighting
  • Arduino and maker projects — easiest SMD to hand-solder for custom indicator boards and project enclosures
  • Automotive cluster repair — some newer vehicle instrument clusters use 0805 indicators alongside PLCC-2

*Use 15V instead of 12V for vehicle/alternator sources to account for charging voltage (13.8–14.4V).

DC power recommended: LEDs are designed for DC. Running on AC will cause flickering and reduce lifespan. If you're using a low-voltage AC source — such as a model railroad transformer output or DCC track voltage — convert it to DC first with a bridge rectifier.

Review by Verified Buyer
0805 size cool white have a decent amount of blue color. Do not match the larger 3528 size or the 3mm bulbs that are cool white. Other brands/sellers also have this issue I’ve found. Would not buy if trying to match coloring unless had no choice. Quick shipping etc. will buy other products from seller again.
