Notes

  • 5 mm (T-1¾): Ø5.0 dome, Ø5.8 flange 1 mm thick, 8.6 mm tall body, 2.54 mm lead pitch; press fit hole Ø5.1, clip hole Ø6.2 for the flange to pass. 3 mm (T-1): Ø3.0, Ø3.8 flange, 5.3 mm tall, 2.54 pitch; hole Ø3.1.
  • Flat-top 5 mm is 6 mm tall; 8 mm and 10 mm LEDs have 9 / 11.5 mm flanges. Rectangular 5 × 2 mm (7 mm tall) are the stacked bar-graph style.
  • Light pipes: a printed clear-PETG rod of the LED diameter carries light 20–30 mm; a Ø5.2 hole and a 0.5 mm floor hides the LED entirely.

Questions

What hole size for a 5 mm LED?

Ø5.1 mm press fit in 2–3 mm of plastic; Ø6.2 if the flange must pass through; snap-in LED holders need Ø6.4 (5 mm) or Ø4.5 (3 mm).

What is the lead spacing on a 5 mm LED?

2.54 mm (0.1 in); leads 0.5 mm square, 25 mm long before trimming; the longer lead is the anode.

How tall is a 5 mm LED?

8.6 mm from the flange bottom to the dome tip (standard); flat-top 6 mm; 3 mm LEDs are 5.3 mm tall.
