- Prewired for easy installation – no soldering required
- Compact 1206 size (3.2mm x 1.6mm) for tight spaces
- Ideal for model railways, buildings, vehicles, and DIY projects
- Energy efficient and long-lasting
- Pack of 10 LEDs
What's Included
- 10x 1206 prewired SMD LEDs
- Approximately 28cm (11-inch wire leads)
- No resistor included
LEDs run cooler, last longer, and are more efficient than incandescent bulbs, making them perfect for long-term installations in compact spaces.
Each LED includes approximately 28cm (11-inch) pre-attached wires, eliminating the need for delicate soldering.
We also offer non-prewired options. Browse our full SMD LED selection.
SMD 1206 LED Dimensions

SMD LEDs are available in several standard sizes:

- 0603 (1608 Metric): 1.6mm x 0.8mm
- 0805 (2012 Metric): 2.0mm x 1.25mm
- 1206 (3216 Metric): 3.2mm x 1.6mm
Power Requirements
Important: These LEDs do NOT include a current-limiting resistor.
A current-limiting resistor must be used in series to prevent damage.
Typical operating current is up to 20mA, with 2mA–15mA recommended for longer lifespan.

Safe Resistor Option (3V–15V)
For general use, an 820 ohm 1/4 watt resistor is a safe choice.
Hooking Up Your LED
All LEDs require a current-limiting resistor. Without one, the LED may fail instantly.
