Electro Boat Product Description (Detailed):
Illuminate your electronic projects with our vibrant 5mm Yellow LED DIP (Dual In-line Package), specifically engineered to deliver a bright, diffused light. This widely popular light-emitting diode is an indispensable component for a multitude of applications, from status indicators in industrial controls to captivating visual elements in hobbyist electronics and educational kits. Unlike clear LEDs that produce a focused beam, the diffused lens of this 5mm yellow LED ensures a broad, uniform light distribution, making it perfect for general illumination and signal visibility from various angles without harsh hotspots. Each LED typically operates with a forward voltage (Vf) ranging between 1.9V to 2.4V and requires a forward current (If) of approximately 15mA to 20mA for optimal brightness and longevity. To protect the diode from overcurrent, it's crucial to use an appropriate current-limiting resistor when connecting it to power sources like 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi. With a luminous intensity often measured in tens or hundreds of millicandelas (mcd), these through-hole LEDs offer excellent visibility. Their robust DIP form factor ensures easy integration into breadboards, prototyping boards, and custom PCBs. Enhance your designs with the reliable performance and eye-catching glow of this versatile yellow LED, a go-to choice for clear visual feedback and appealing illumination.
This 5mm Yellow LED is a through-hole diffused light-emitting diode commonly used in prototyping, signal indicators, educational electronics, and Arduino projects. The diffused lens offers a soft glow with a wide viewing angle, making it perfect for visual alerts or aesthetic lighting effects.
With low forward voltage (around 2V) and minimal current draw, it is ideal for use with microcontroller GPIO pins through a current-limiting resistor. Its durability and brightness make it a staple for electronics enthusiasts and students alike.
