Title: Huion 8 x 5 Graphics Tablet need to identify an LED
Post by: Crowii on Mon, 19 January 2015, 11:45:19

So, I got this LED on my tablet that I'd like to change to a red lighting one, as this one lights green and doesn't fit my setup.  :'(

It's 3mm x 1mm and seems like it's a very tiny square LED where the solder is on top of the PCB instead of under.
I would prefer if you could also link where I'd (possibly?) be able to get a red one, that ships to Denmark without giant a$$ import  :p

E: Might have posted in wrong thread >,> very tired =^=

Something like this should do: http://dk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Avago-Technologies/HSMS-C170/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMseGfSY3csMkdHZriYI4aTNgZ5evNFbF6I%3d

You can search that site for other options, but they have a LOT of LED's. This one should match the forward voltage of the green one pretty well (green LED's usually have higher forward voltage rating than red) so you don't need to add a resistor.
