lionkingcmslThe LEDs I am using in my project are not 0603 cases. They are actually twice the size, even bigger than 0805s.
However, I do see 0603s in the portables I fix.
And now to prove my insanity, I hereby post a picture of a LED I'm using along with a 0603 with leads soldered to it. Yes, it does work, though it is not lit in this pic.
I will admit it took a bit of time and skill to get those leads on the 0603. It is not something I would want to do day in and day out. The trick was to use a piece of vinyl electrical tape to hold the LED in place as I soldered the leads.
