Distinguish in terms of structure: straight in LED lamp beads, with long pins, structural source, straw hat, flat head, square, and several forming methods. SMD LED beads, on the other hand, are flat wafer shaped beads with no or only short pins. Additionally, SMD has the advantages of small size, low cost, and can be used on micro electrical devices. The advantage of the direct insertion type is that the welding process does not require high requirements, the heat dissipation is relatively better, and the power is higher. From the perspective of luminescence, the perspective boundary of LED directly inserted straw hat shaped lamp beads is more obvious, while the LED patch is less obvious, and the angle can be made larger. In terms of brightness, the brightness of the SMD is higher, and the heat dissipation is also better. The lifespan of the SMD is also higher, so LED directly inserted lamp beads are generally used on products that are not very high-end. From the perspective of soft lighting, the light of straw hat shaped lamp beads is more dazzling, and the fiber optic of SMD lamp beads is softer. SMD is superior to LED plugins because the production process is easier to control and the defect rate is low, and some materials are more expensive than plugins. However, for high-power devices such as MOSFETs, electrolytic capacitors, and power resistor plugins, the overall chip will be better than the chip. Due to the severe heat generation of power devices, the heat dissipation of the plug-in is better than that of the patch. Dangyang has both advantages and disadvantages for any product, mainly depending on where your needs are. The above is the difference between plugins and patches.
