The 5mm Diffused LED provides bright, energy-efficient indication in various colors with low power consumption. Essential for status indicators, displays, lighting effects, and visual feedback in electronic projects.
Key features
- 5mm T-1 package standard size
- Available in multiple colors (red, green, blue, yellow, white)
- Low power consumption
- Long lifespan (50,000+ hours)
- Wide viewing angle with diffused lens
- Fast switching for dynamic displays
- Low cost and widely available
Good to know
- Always use current-limiting resistor (220-330Ω for 5V)
- Verify forward voltage for your LED color
- Do not exceed 20mA continuous current
- Higher current = brighter but shorter lifespan
- Observe polarity – flat side is cathode (negative)
