F5 5mm Green Round Superbright LED
High-Brightness Round LED for Indicators and Projects
The 5mm green superbright LED is a highintensity, standardsize through-hole component ideal for visual indicators, displays, and lighting applications. It offers a narrow viewing angle for focused illumination and excellent visibility even in daylight conditions [citation:11].
High Luminous Intensity - Up to 12,000 mcd for excellent visibility
Narrow 2030° Viewing Angle Focused light output for clear indicators
Operating voltage: 3.0V to 3.8V depending on model [citation:1][citation:11].
Currentlimiting resistor (typically 220Ω1kΩ) is required to prevent damage.
Maximum forward current: 25mA to 30mA - exceeding this will damage the LED.
Technical Specifications (Typical Values)

Troubleshooting
LED not lighting:
- Check polarity: longer lead is anode (+), shorter lead is cathode (-) [citation:7].
- Verify a current-limiting resistor is installed (e.g., 220Ω to 1kΩ).
- Ensure supply voltage meets forward voltage requirement (3.0V - 3.8V).
Dim or uneven brightness:
- Confirm the correct resistor value is being used.
- Check for loose or cold solder joints.
