Detailed Description:

This 5mm Blue Diffused LED emits a bright blue light with a soft glow, thanks to its diffused lens that spreads the light evenly. Designed for use in indicator systems, DIY circuits, Arduino boards, and breadboard projects, it's an essential component for any electronics enthusiast or engineer.

With a typical forward voltage of 3V and low current draw, it provides excellent brightness while being energy-efficient. The standard 2-pin design fits directly into breadboards, PCB headers, and prototyping boards.

Key Features:

• Blue diffused lens for uniform light emission

• 5mm diameter standard LED body

• Bright and energy-efficient

• Long lifespan – up to 50,000 hours

• Wide viewing angle for better visibility

• Ideal for 3V–5V circuits

• Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PIC, and other MCUs

• Easily mounts on breadboards or PCBs

Technical Specifications:

How to Use:

1. Insert into breadboard or PCB – longer leg is positive (anode)

2. Use a current-limiting resistor (e.g., 220Ω to 330Ω) in series

3. Connect to Arduino GPIO, power supply, or microcontroller output

4. Ideal operating voltage: 3V

5. Ensure polarity is correct to avoid damage
