Diffused Yellow 3-5V 5mm LED

Standard LED 5mm diameter.


Forward Voltage (V) : 2 Volts for Red, Orange and Yellow
Forward Voltage (V) : 3 Volts for White, Warm White, Bright White, Green and Blue.
Forward current: 20mA (typical)
Connections:

The longer of the 2 leads is the Anode, this MUST be connected to the + (Posi ...tive) side of the Supply.

The shorter of the 2 leads is the Cathode, this MUST be connected to the - (Negative) side of the Supply.






PLEASE NOTE:

All LEDs are tested prior to dispatch.

If a supply voltage greater than the rated forward voltage of the LED is to be used,

then a suitable resistor MUST be wired in series with the LED as shown below.







A suitable series resistor is available at the shop please refer to the table below:-
