2 Pin 5mm Round Green LED
Description:
A 2-pin 5mm round green LED is a small, circular electronic component that emits green light when an electric current is passed through it.1 It’s commonly used in various electronic projects, including indicators, displays, and lighting applications.2
Specifications:
- Size: 5mm diameter3
- Pins: 2 pins for power and ground connections4
- Color: Green5
- Forward Voltage (Vf): Typically around 2.0-2.2V
- Forward Current (If): Typically 20mA6
- Viewing Angle: 120 degrees (approximate)
- Luminous Intensity: Varies, but typically around 2-5 mcd (milli-candela)
Key Features:
- Compact Size: Ideal for space-constrained designs7
- Low Power Consumption: Efficient use of energy8
- Long Lifespan: Durable and reliable
- Wide Viewing Angle: Provides good visibility9
- Easy to Use: Simple two-pin connection10
Applications:
- Indicator Lights: Power on/off indicators, alarm indicators, etc.
- Backlighting: For displays and keyboards11
- Lighting Effects: Creating various lighting patterns and effects
- Hobby and DIY Projects: Building custom electronic circuits and gadgets12
Note:
When using LEDs, it’s important to limit the forward current to prevent overheating and damage.13 A resistor is typically used in series with the LED to control the current.14 The value of the resistor can be calculated using Ohm’s Law and considering the LED’s forward voltage and desired current.15
By understanding these specifications and features, you can effectively use 2-pin 5mm round green LEDs in your electronic projects.
