That's definitely not normal. Normally, the current needed to fry the lead will be many times the current needed for the diode junction to short.

- _Microft 6y agoI guess I didn’t explain well enough: it aren’t ‚huge‘ external leads (if you meant these) that fry but a minuscule wire internal to the SMD LED element that houses two junctions in series, connected by said wire. Here is a bad picture of an undamaged wire, diagonally at the center. The image shows approximately 1.5x1.5mm. https://i.imgur.com/4olUBvd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4olUBvd.jpg
