The WS2812E in the full-size package, which settles the old question of whether it is 4- or 6-pin: four pins, VDD, DOUT, VSS, DIN, same as the WS2812B. The sheet is picture-only for the outline, so dimensions are left null. 12.5 mA per channel.

Compatibility

  • protocol compatible WS2812B-V5

    Identical datasheet timing windows, pin count (4) and supply range. Independent measurement has not been done; E and B differ in IC drive current (12-12.5 mA) and packages (the E exists in 1313, 2020, 2427, 3535-class MINI and 4020). source ↗

Dating evidence

Nobody announces these parts, so this records what we can actually cite rather than a release date. Library support proves only that the part existed by that date.
