Product Description

3mm Red LEDs

Standard T1 ThroughHole Light Emitting Diodes

3mm red LEDs are compact, throughhole components that provide a reliable visual indicator for electronics projects. With a standard round T1 package and 2.54mm pin spacing, they are widely used for breadboard prototyping, Arduino projects, and PCB indicators.

Low Forward Voltage - Operates at 1.8V to 2.2V, compatible with most logic circuits
Standard 3mm Package - Fits breadboards, LED holders, and PCB holes easily
Typical forward current is 20mA with current limiting resistor required
Long lead is Anode (+), short lead is Cathode (-)
Do not exceed 20mA to 30mA max current

Troubleshooting

LED not lighting:

  • Check polarity: anode to positive, cathode to ground
  • Verify current-limiting resistor is installed
  • Ensure supply voltage meets forward voltage requirement

Dim brightness:

  • Confirm correct resistor value
  • Check for loose connections
