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
