Product Feature

1. It incorporates an onboard 6-pin smart control chip, which can be embedded into 2020/5050 encapsulated RGB SMD LED chips. The product supports the independent programmability as well as the LED’s color and luminance control, so it can potentially offer precise lighting adjustment.
2. The LED strip performs a single LED cutting and allows for an adjustable length to freely adapt to actual demands for installation.
3. There are several forms for the product, such as ultra-narrow form, high-density form, and covers DIY uses as well as engineering uses.
4.APA102 LED strip working voltage DC 5V;
5. Built-in IC;
6.APA102 LED strip does not have a breakpoint resume function.

What is APA102 LED Strip?

The APA102 LED strip is an addressable 5V LED strip with built-in IC, dual signal lines (data and clock), and no breakpoint resume function.

The APA102 is time-sensitive and can control clock and data signals more accurately because it uses a 4-wire protocol (+, -, clock, data), a data transmission rate of up to 30 MHz, and a PWM refresh rate of up to 20 kHz.

The APA102 LED strip’s precise control of LED color and brightness makes it ideal for applications that require dynamic lighting effects without delay, such as visual lighting, LED displays, and animations.

We offer the APA102 2020 LED strip series and the APA102 5050 LED strip series. LED density is available in 30 leds/m, 60leds/m, 135leds/m,144leds/m and 200leds/m.

If the product parameters you need are not available here, please contact our professional engineer team and we will provide customized services for you.

FAQ

Question 1: What controller can be used with APA102 LED strip?
Answer: It can be used with Dream Color LED controller or Raspberry Pi / Arduino UNO.

Question 2: Under what circumstances should you consider choosing APA102 LED strip?
Answer: If you need ultra-narrow, high-density addressable LED strip, you can choose APA102 LED strip.

Question 3: APA102 LED strip vs SK9822 LED strip, which one to choose?
Answer: Both APA102 and SK9822 have dual signals, one is data signal and the other is clock signal. However, the PWM frequency of APA102 is 20khz, while SK9822 is only 4.7khZ. However, the price of APA102 is too high, and the mass production time is long. It is recommended to choose SK9822 LED strip, after all, it has a higher cost performance.
