Product Description (Detailed):
Illuminate your electronic projects with our premium 5mm Green LED (Light Emitting Diode), specifically designed with a diffused lens for a wide, uniform glow. Unlike clear lens LEDs that produce a focused beam, this bright diffused green LED ensures soft, consistent illumination, making it perfect for indicator lights, status displays, and ambient lighting in various applications. Housed in the classic DIP (Dual In-line Package), this through-hole 5mm green LED is incredibly easy to integrate into breadboards, custom PCBs, or perfboards, appealing to hobbyists and professional engineers alike. Featuring a typical forward voltage (Vf) ranging from 2.0V to 2.2V and a recommended forward current (If) of 20mA, it delivers impressive luminous intensity (mcd) while maintaining low power consumption and a long operational lifespan. Its standard 5mm diameter makes it a versatile choice for everything from DIY Arduino projects and robotic indicators to consumer electronics and custom control panels. Always remember to use a suitable current-limiting resistor in series to protect the LED from overcurrent and ensure optimal performance and durability.
This 5mm Green LED is a high-efficiency light-emitting diode used for visual indicators and signal lighting in electronic circuits. With a standard 5mm diffused lens, it provides a wide viewing angle and bright output.
Perfectly suited for DIY projects, electronic kits, Arduino boards, and educational circuits, this LED operates at low voltages and currents, making it safe and reliable. The anode and cathode leads are easily distinguishable, making it breadboard-friendly and solder-ready.
Whether you're building a traffic light prototype, indicator panel, or learning basic electronics, this LED delivers dependable performance.
