LDs i received already had nice long enough pins.Rhith said:Ummmm, that's the back of the diode itself. I would recommend not letting anything hit it. I advise everyone to add an extra pin to the pos/neg legs, usually the pins off of an LED work well. and use those to support the diode if it's going into a light. Got more questions, here!
