Using the warm white 0603 SMD LEDs
These tiny SMD LEDs in 0603 package fit even where there is hardly any space – for example for cab lighting or additional lights in passenger coaches. The connecting wires are already soldered on: the red wire is the anode (+), the blue one the cathode (−).
Like any LED, this one needs a suitable series resistor, for example at the function output of a decoder via our adapter boards.

Frequently asked questions
Which series resistor do I need?
As a rule of thumb: resistance = (supply voltage − LED voltage) ÷ LED current. A larger resistor makes the LED dimmer.
