dimensions of LED strips

Post by KarelDeprez »

Hi,

The Adafruit NeoPixel 60Leds/m LED strips (product ID 1138) are in a 12.5 mm x 4 mm casing. Can somebody tell me if the high density 144Leds/m LED strips (product ID 1507) are in exactly the same casing?

I need to replace our current 60Leds/m LED strip by the high-density LED strip and I want to know how this impacts the design of our system.

Thanks!

Hi. On 1507 product page, the dimensions are 14mm x 4mm for casing. Does this mean that the cross section is a 14mm x 4mm rectangle? What is the distance between pixels? What is the length of wire on jst connector? If you cut the strip, how do you solder them together (do you remove the casing?) can you run this with no casing? If yes, how do dimensions change?

Basically, I'm modeling a project and I'd like the dimensions, so do you have a schematic showing dimensions? I'd also take a 3D model if that's easier for you?

I'll ask someone to measure a strip.
You can remove the casing.
There are solder pads for power and data between each pixel. You can cut the strip and solder wires to the pads

We just pulled out some neopixel strip and found the strip w/o the casing itself to be ~ 12mm x 3mm, (casing is 14x4mm)
pixels are about 7mm apart (1000mm / 144)
The wires are about 3" long
these measurements are not guaranteed. the strips may change slightly depending on manufacturer!
