General description
WS2812B is a intelligent control LED light source that the control circuit and RGB chip are integrated in
a package of 5050 components. It internal include intelligent digital port data latch and signal reshaping ampli
fication drive circuit. Also include a precision internal oscillator and a 12V voltage programmable constant curr
e-nt control part, effectively ensuring the pixel point light color height consistent.
The data transfer protocol use single NZR communication mode. After the pixel power-on reset, the DIN
port receive data from controller, the first pixel collect initial 24bit data then sent to the internal data latch,
the other data which reshaping by the internal signal reshaping amplification circuit sent to the next cascade
pixel through the DO port. After transmission for each pixel，the signal to reduce 24bit. pixel adopt auto resha
-ping transmit technology, making the pixel cascade number is not limited the signal transmission, only depend
on the speed of signal transmission.
LED with low driving voltage, environmental protection and energy saving, high brightness, scattering angl
e is large, good consistency, low power, long life and other advantages. The control chip integrated in LED
above becoming more simple circuit, small volume, convenient installation.

WS2812B Products Using Instructions
MSL=5A Level
1. Purpose：
WS2812B-Mini LED lamp’s surface use the high hardness silicone resin,can ensure that no
matter customers use PU glue or epoxy resin to do the silicone drop rubber
processing,won’t lead the LED to die;also has a very good anti sulfide capacity. Good
compatibility with bracket, but the silicon resin has a higher requirements on the humidity
and dehumidification process, especially pay attention during wet season,ensure the
production safety.
2. Transport and application area：
All WS2812S/B products during the transportation process, need to maintain a positive
upward, moisture-proof, during the transport process,shall avoid the extrusion, collision
and vibration.
3. Product storage and deadline：
Sealed storage at room temperature: 20 ℃~ 30 ℃, 40% ~ 60%RH, the product is valid
for 3 months;
Moisture seal storage: 20 ℃~ 30 ℃, 25% ~ 60%RH, the product is valid for 6 months;
After opening the product packaging , suggest using them within 1 hours,(environmental
conditions of temperature <30 ℃, humidity <60%).
4. Dehumidification process:
LED products which is beyond the prescribed time limit,or for getting damp for some other
reasons,we recommend the customer first do the dehumidification process,then use
them.Dehumidification method:under 75 ℃/ 22 ±2 hours.
5. Electrostatic protection:
LED is the electrostatic sensitive devices, although the LED product has excellent
anti-static ability, but after each ESD impact, will cause a certain degree of damage to LED.
Thus in using process of LED products, must do the electrostatic protection measures, such
as anti-static gloves, anti-static Bracelet etc..
6. Manual welding operation instruction
Suggest using the Electric soldering iron whose power is less than 30W, then control the
Worldsemi solder materials suppliers. 99

electric soldering iron’s temperature being not higher than 350 ℃, every time when
welding electric iron in the bracket pin,stay time shall be no more than 3 seconds,if
requiring repeat welding,then interval time shall be no less than 2 seconds.Please don’t
touch or extrusion the LED’s surface,in order to avoid damage to the internal LED, at the
same time, please pay attention to avoid the electric iron burns the colloid on the surface of
LED and other injuries.
7. Reflow instructions
Set the reflow parameters, check the following drawing and table for reference.,
recommend using Senju, Alfa, Henkel loctite brand solder paste, recommends customers do
the necessary adjustments according to foundation of material properties provided by the
solder materials suppliers.

8.Notice of Production
1.All products ,during SMT, please carefully check, if the vacuum packaging intact, no

leakage phenomenon,Please use directly, can don’t do the bake dehumidification.
2. During use, please open a bag and use a bag,please don’t open many bags at one-time
which shall lead the LEDs absorb moisture in the air since you don’t use them at once.
3. After SMT,please do the reflow soldering furnace immediately,please don’t leave them in
in the pre-reflow for a long time which absorb moisture.Especially
when off work,please use out the LEDs which is out of packaging,please SMT and
reflow,do not let them stay in the air for a long time.
4. Dehumidification process,please under 70-75 ℃, bake for 24 hours. Also note during
using, use the LEDs immediately after taking out of the bake box,please don’t take many
reels at one-time, since it is very hot when taking out,LED in the cooling process more
easily absorb the moisture in the air into the inside of the LED ,which shall cause led dead
during reflow.
5.Please pay attention that it is forbidden to secondary reflow soldering.
