LED 5mm
5mm LED (Light Emitting Diode)
5mm LED (Light Emitting Diode) The 5mm LED is a high-quality light-emitting diode widely used in Arduino projects, electronic circuits, DIY projects, indicators, signal lights, and educational applications. It provides bright illumination while consuming very low power, making it an ideal choice for hobbyists, students, and professionals. Features Standard 5mm diameter LED Low power consumption Long operating life High brightness Easy to use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, ESP8266, and other microcontrollers Suitable for breadboards and PCB soldering Specifications LED Size: 5mm Forward Voltage: Red/Yellow: 1.8V – 2.2V Green/Blue/White: 2.8V – 3.3V Forward Current: 20mA (Typical) Viewing Angle: 20°–30° (Approx.) Lead Type: Through-hole Polarity: Long lead (+) Anode, Short lead (-) Cathode Applications Arduino and DIY projects Electronic indicators Signal lamps Educational projects Prototype circuits Decorative lighting Industrial control panels Note: Always use a suitable current-limiting resistor (typically 220Ω–330Ω with a 5V supply) to protect the LED from damage.
