Speaking of LEDs, I've been on and off looking for 0402 or 0603 pink LEDs. There seem to have been multiple manufacturers building them years ago, but it seems like they've been discontinued/obsolete. Now I can't seem to find them at the larger distributors (Digikey/Mouser/ etc.). And I'm leery of buying them off of Ali-express/ebay, because I wouldn't want to have to test them each before using them, and for this particular project it wouldn't be worth it to rework if we had to replace non-functioning LEDs. Anyone know more about the trials and tribulations of pink LED manufacture?
- kosma 10y agoI don't know the reasons behind the shortage, but if this is a one-off thing, TME still carries some: http://www.tme.eu/gb/details/osk40603c1e/smd-colour-leds/optosupply/ http://www.tme.eu/gb/details/osk40603c1e/smd-colour-leds/opt... By the way, wouldn't it be feasible to just mix red and blue, either discrete or in RGB packages?
- GregBuchholz 10y agoThanks for the find. I want to cramp about 100 of these as close together as possible.
- kosma 10y agoGo for it before they sell out! :) TME is our primary supplier and from my experience they are not exactly stellar in restocking components when they run out.
