Any idea what it’s used for? Any specs at all besides the size? I’m curious whether it is a powerhouse in a tiny package or just the tiny package.
Can it take 10A tho?
I found the LED by tracing back the location of that second pic. HERE.
It is a 10mA LED. Not gonna wow anybody on output.
Ratings don’t matter, just let it pull 10A
10ma, really impressive for that micro led
I think world smallest Led is in the oled screen of samsung
2560*1440*3(3 basic color) led in a 5.1” screen
I just tried to calculate the surface brightness based on DIE-size (~0.0194mm^2) and luminus intensity (typ. 175mcd @ 10mA). To get the DIE-size one needs to count pixels in the datasheet image…
So only 9cd/mm^2 (old XP-G2 reached 200cd/mm^2). So it definitely wont throw.
OLED is amazing tech, but this is a discrete LED package. I don’t know if it’s the smallest, but I haven’t seen any smaller.
This is standard 0201(imperial)/0603(metric) SMT package:

Just search for 0201 LED.
Digikey sells some:
Those are used in model community - you can buy prewired leds as they might be little tricky to be soldered ![]()
As mentioned by altonx, that's right, they're standard 0201 package LEDs and are actually fairly common and many manufacturers make them. Unfortunately it seems like 01005 is a little too small for LEDs, but if you do want smaller, you can just buy the LED chip!

For example, here's one just 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.25mm :) Good for 10-15mA. I'm sure someone can find even smaller ones!
