LED – 5mm Diffused

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

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Status indicators for circuits and devices
• Display elements in numeric and bar graphs
• Lighting effects and decorative projects
• Optical signaling and communication
• Educational electronics projects
• Debugging and testing visual feedback

Important Notes

• 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)
