LED clearance
vixo:
when making panels etc for LEDs, do they require any clearance? or are LEDs actually a little smaller than the standard sizes - 3mm, 5mm etc
Clear as mud:
I don't know, but I would start by checking the data sheet.
vixo:
Im making the panel for someone else, i dont know what leds they will use - the panel is cut for both 3mm and 5mm, but exactly which ones i don't know
jfiresto:
I had to decide this a couple days ago and drilled 4mm holes for 3mm LEDs in an aluminum sheet metal panel: that is my smallest step drill.
jfiresto:
It is not the greatest photo but here is what the 3mm LEDs in 4mm holes looks like.
