Product Description

5mm Round White LEDs

StandardSize ThroughHole Light Emitting Diodes

The 5mm round white LED is a standard, throughhole component recognized for its high brightness and durability. Constructed with an opticalgrade epoxy resin, these LEDs provide stable light output and resist moisture and high temperatures, making them suitable for a wide range of indicator and lighting applications [citation:1][citation:2][citation:7].

Standard 5mm Size (T1 3/4) Easy to use on breadboards and PCBs
High Brightness with Long Lifespan Stable light output and solidstate reliability
Typical forward voltage ranges from 2.7V to 4V, depending on the specific model [citation:3][citation:4][citation:8].
Maximum continuous forward current is usually 20mA to 30mA [citation:1][citation:9].

Important Considerations

When selecting your LED, ensure the forward current and voltage are compatible with your circuit. Always use a currentlimiting resistor to prevent damage [citation:4][citation:12]. Some models also include builtin resistors for direct connection to specific voltages like 13V [citation:12].
