Lamouette Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hello ! I have some problems and some questions with the little livid pads. I'm working actually on a BLM 16x16xX with livid pads but i have a problem. the external dimension of 3 leg of a led is 5.5mm and the intenal dimension of the livid contact is 6mm. so if i create a pcb these 2 part are too close... Someone here have already create a PCB for the Livid button ? is it works with a 3 legged LED ?? Thx ! Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 try a 2 leg bicolor LED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 For two color LEDs you need common anode or cathode types, 2 leg bicolor is not supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamouette Posted March 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 So there is no solutions ? maybe if i cut a bit of the circle contact ? but perhaps the rest of the part will not be robust... Maybe i could twist the legs a bit to reduce the size required... I really don't know !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julienvoirin Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 SMD Leds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 It's a bit hard to defy the laws of physics... if the darn thing is too large to fit in there then what are you going to do?? Use larger buttons or try a 3mm LED variant or see if you can put in two SMD LEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamouette Posted March 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 -> Julien Voirin : Yes for SMD it's a really good idea ! But it's really little, so it's not too difficult to weld them ? I will put some link to verify if i choose the good smd led. -> Ilmenator : I know that i can't defy the las but maybe another brain could have a good idea for me (like SMD led :) ) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
