The 3MM LED Green is a tiny light-emitting diode that produces green light when powered. Here’s a breakdown of its key specifications:

Size: 3 millimeters (mm) in diameter, very small and ideal for compact projects.
Color: Green light emission
Lens Type: Likely a clear or diffused plastic lens to disperse the light for better visibility.
Typical Voltage: 2.0-2.4 Volts (V) (may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer)
Typical Current: 20 milliamps (mA)

Additional Considerations:

Forward Current: Don’t exceed the forward current (typically 20mA) to prevent damaging the LED.
Resistor: A series resistor is usually needed when connecting the LED to a power source with higher voltage to limit current and prevent burnout. Online calculators or datasheets can help you determine the appropriate resistor value for your specific voltage.
Brightness: The brightness of the LED can vary depending on the model and manufacturer.
Applications: These LEDs are versatile due to their small size, low power consumption, and readily available green color. They are widely used in electronics, appliances, and hobbyist projects for:
- Indicator lights (power on/off, status indicators)
- Backlighting for displays or buttons
- Decorative purposes
