5mm Green LED – Through-Hole DIP Indicator LED – 1 Pc

The 5mm Green LED is a compact general-purpose indicator diode designed for electronic circuits requiring a visible green light. Its standard through-hole format is compatible with breadboards, PCBs, perfboards, and many DIY electronics projects.

It can be used to indicate power, operating status, logic states, warnings, or other circuit conditions. The compact size also makes it useful for control panels, educational projects, robotics, and embedded systems.

Features

• Standard 5mm LED package
• Green light emission
• Through-hole / DIP mounting
• Typical forward voltage around 1.8–2.2V
• Typical maximum forward current of 20mA
• Compact and easy to install
• Suitable for breadboards and PCBs
• Useful for Arduino and other microcontroller projects
• Non-complex, general-purpose indicator component

Applications

• Power indicators
• Status indicators
• Signal and warning lights
• Arduino and microcontroller projects
• Robotics projects
• Breadboard prototyping
• PCB indicator circuits
• Control panels
• Educational electronics
• DIY electronic devices

How to Use

Connect the LED in the correct polarity and place a suitable current-limiting resistor in series with the LED.

For a typical 5V supply, a resistor such as 150Ω–330Ω may be appropriate depending on the desired LED current and the actual forward voltage. Always calculate the resistor value based on the specific circuit.

Important Notes

• The LED is polarity-sensitive.
• The longer lead is generally the anode (+) and the shorter lead is generally the cathode (−).
• Do not connect the LED directly across a power supply without a current-limiting resistor.
• Exact forward voltage, brightness, lens style, and wavelength can vary by batch.
• Do not exceed the LED's rated forward current.
• Product appearance may vary slightly from the image.
