Kitronik USB LED Strip with Power Switch

The Kitronik LED Strip with power switch is a board designed for low-power lightings, such as desk lamps or accent lights. Its discreet size and straightforward layout make it perfect for creative lighting enclosures.

The board has a micro USB power connector and has been designed so that it is within the supply rating of a computer USB port (under 100mA). This means you can power it conveniently from a computer/laptop or a suitable power supply.

The PCB is approximately 50mm long, 10mm wide, and is provided with a single mounting hole. The board features the power switch at one end and the micro USB power connector at the other.

The end-mounted switch can be used to turn on/off the LEDs. An additional switch can be connected in parallel with the PCB switch to allow remote mounting within an enclosure. The board features pads that the remote switch can be soldered to. When using a remote switch the PCB-mounted switch should be left switched to ‘Off’.
